Hello list! FreeBSD has netmap support for chelsio T5 cards, which is amazing. The great thing about implementation is that you can play with traffic-generating applications without affecting "main" OS interface, which has always been a problem for Intel cards. However, this approach (having additional netmap-only ifp) turns to be a bit problematic for netmap-based networking elements participating in routing.
In Intel case you can configure all your interfaces, run routing daemon, run netmap application and punt all to-host traffic to kernel via host pipes. It looks like I can't do this using current implementation: mac addresses are different for main/netmap interfaces so I can't run routing daemon on main interface (or sub-interfaces). I also can't run routing daemon on top of ncxgbe* interface since it appears to ignore non-netmap-derived traffic.. Is it possible to make ncxgbe* interfaces behave more like ordinary ones? _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
