Other than comping my kernel with netmap what else I need to setup a "production-like" environment to test it? The scenario is a simple BGP router w/ FreeBSD forwarding packets from em0 to em1 with no NAT, etc. I read something about using a special virtual switch (VALE), is it needed? Or is it for testing scenarios only? I want to try it on 9-STABLE. Thanks! -- =========== Eduardo Meyer pessoal: dudu.meyer@gmail.com profissional: ddm.farmaciap@saude.gov.br
