The MTP-10G can actually filter in both directions at 10G. Livio made a short presentation at the Internet2 Joint Techs Workshop today. A gentleman (I think it was Arien Vijn, I'm real bad with names) from AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange) presented with Livio their plans for the 10G card at AMS-IX. The Force10 cards, Force10 bought Metanetworks in Nov 2005, are designed more for filtering. Per my request Livio created an OpenBSD driver for the card, so you can use either Linux or OpenBSD. diana
