Hi, I seem to recall that there was some discussion (in a Claudio presentation IIRC) about OBSD potentially supporting h/w based forwarding at some time in the distant future.
At a first glance, this (NetFPGA) project appears to be the kind of thing that's needed to kick start such an activity: http://netfpga.org/foswiki/bin/view/NetFPGA/OneGig/LearnMore And the license appears to be appropriate (BSD style) at least for the exisiting code, not sure about the h/w docs. http://netfpga.org/foswiki/bin/view/NetFPGA/OneGig/License So, my question is, if there is currently any interest by any of the devs, such that it would be worth my while to try organise a donation pot ( ~1k USD) and ordering/transporting a couple to them ? http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?Prod=NETFPGA&Nav1=Products&Nav 2=Programmable (Alternatively this email can rot in the misc@ archive, so that next time someone wonders, the answer will be ready google'able) /Pete
