"Too narrow is their circle, so terribly far they are from people". The 10G routing is definetely not a critical FreeBSD problem, actual for broad user masses. What percentage of even Linux users do have it? I am currently working as admin of small Linux HPC cluster - MPI, Infiniband, you know, 10G/40G. That area is unknown to average Linux user: all that they know is that Linux is used on such computers (Top-500), but that's all, just a bit of proudness, not something real. When they come to me try to use it there is little help for them that's Linux too :-) Everyday needs are very different. -- WBR, Vadim Goncharov.
