Hello, I found lots of interesting papers about research and improvements regarding Open vSwitch and netmap (on FreeBSD, e.g. http://changeofelia.info.ucl.ac.be/pmwiki/uploads/SummerSchool/Program/poster_001.pdf) Again, University of Pisa with a famous team arround Luigi Rizzo did some highly appreciated coding and presentation, the paper in the link is from Gaetano Catalli (cc'd). But it seems that this work got lost in space... openvswitch in ports is quiet old codebase without any netmap-integration and a provided patch isn't in our netmap tree: https://github.com/cnplab/ovs-netmap/blob/master/0001-datapath-Add-support-for-netmap-VALE.patch So I guess nobody uses ports/net/openvswitch these days anymore. I also found a FreeBSD kernel module was written back in 2014. But that seems also got lost, which most likely was due to ovs-netmap replacement? Thanks for any hints, -harry
