I am not quite sure about what "flow cache" you mean (pf something?).  We
support ipflow, which is used by fast forwarding and it is lockless MPSAFE.

Mbuf, IPv4 and TCP statistics had been per-cpu even before I joined
DragonFly.  UDP, interface stats and address stats have been per-cpu for
nearly half a year.  As far as I have measured, per-cpu stats do improve
forwarding performance a lot.

Other guys are working on pf or npf; I am currently not involved.

When multiple routing table is done, I will post to users at .
