Hi, Reading the README file: "Real packet I/O is possible using netmap", Can we use it for high-speed firewalling among real NICs now? Can you confirm that we just need: 1. An up-to-date FreeBSD -current (build from source synced the 2012-08-03 mininum) with netmap module loaded; 2. netmap compliant NICs (ixgbe, e1000 or re); 3. compile, configure and start ipfw-user. Can ipfw-user be directly connected to two netmap-enabled NICs in place of vale switches->netmap bridge->NIC ? Thanks, Olivier
