Just curious - why is bge the best chip? Is it because it exports a really nice API (separate recv ring for small messages), or is the chip inherently faster, regardless of its API? I'm trying to design a new ethernet API for a firmware-based nic, and I'm trying to convince a colleague that having separate receive rings for small and large frames is a really good thing.
