What do you mean by =E2=80=9Ctrue gigabit=E2=80=9D?

I=E2=80=99ve trivially done 939mbps over TCP / IPv4 (iperf3, even a browser-=
based Speedtest) on a couple different Armada 38x boards with the default pf=
Sense ruleset =E2=80=9Con=E2=80=9D. Solid-Run makes one, we sell one.=20

Hell, even the little single core 600MHz OMAP / 2 Ethernet router we sell wi=
ll do 550mbps using pkt-gen without =E2=80=9Cpf=E2=80=9D running.  loos@ did=
 a huge amount of work on the NIC driver there. Same SoC family as=20
Beaglebone, and BBB is 1GHz.=20

They won=E2=80=99t do 1.488Mpps though, that still wants an Intel box and ne=
tmap-fwd.

I do have the netmap code for the 38x though, so maybe soon...
