At the moment there isn't enough traffic to suggest that, and creating one is likely to generate traffic to both the specific list and freebsd-net. Note, the problem is not only for netmap: we have ipfw+dummynet which is already cross platform, and as we bring pieces of the kernel to userspace (see=E2=80=8B e.g. the various efforts related to bringing up the network stack) we lose the tight bind to the os. cheers luigi (context below) > On 18 May 2014 16:02, Luigi Rizzo <rizzo@iet.unipi.it> wrote: > > Folks, i have two requests for you: > > > > 1. please do not complain about questions on this list related > > to a core network-related FreeBSD subsystem (netmap, dummynet, > > netgraph, tcp stack...) even if they are concerned with ports > > to Linux or other OSes or to userspace. > > > > At least in principle, these topics _are_ relevant here precisely > > because they relate to code whose main home is in the FreeBSD > > source tree, and bugs or feature suggestions etc that may emerge > > will directly benefit FreeBSD. > > > > 2. on the other hand, it would be good if people could avoid questions > like > > "give me step by step instructions on how to install/run/use X". > > There are notes in README and Makefiles, something on the > > web pages, and quick web searches should point you to previous > > mailing list discussions on the same topic _before asking_. > > > > So in the specific case below i can understand a reply (perhaps a > > private one) saying "have you done your homework (read documentation, > > do a web search) ?", but "we only do FreeBSD here" does not sound > > right to me. > > > > cheers > > luigi > > > > On Sun, May 18, 2014 at 02:23:29PM +0200, XXX wrote: > >> > I am using Fedora 18 with Intel 82599 NIC. > >> .............^^^^^^^^^ > >> > >> Ask on a Linux/Fedora list then.
