Hi Luigi, > we have recently worked on a project, called netmap, which lets > FreeBSD send/receive packets at line rate even at 10 Gbit/s with > very low CPU overhead: one core at 1.33 GHz does 14.88 Mpps with a > modified ixgbe driver, which gives plenty of CPU cycles to handle > multiple interface and/or do useful work (packet forwarding, analysis, etc.) Great to hear. Now all we need is a proper MPLS stack, and plans of moving on from FreeBSD are postponed for like, ever ;) Thanks for your ongoing work!
