Hi,

I am seeking for advice on how to set up a device to aggregate and distribute 
the traffic coming in two 1000BaseT traffic feeds across four 1000BaseT outputs.

These are the basic requirements:

- Input:  Two different traffic feeds 1000BaseT, connected to different ports 
in an Intel network card (let's say, eth1, eth2)
- Output: Input (eth1, eth2) has to be aggregated on a single stream (fan-out) 
and spread out across eth3, eth4, eth5 and eth6. 

I was thinking of using:

../PF_RING/userland/examples_zc/zbalance_ipc -i zc:eth1,zc:eth2 -c 1 -n 10 -m 2 
-a -d

at the input to aggregate the 2 traffic feeds

and distribute it at the output like this

../PF_RING/userland/examples_zc/zbounce -i zc:1@1 -o eth3,eth4,eth5,eth6 -c 1

I would appreciate any advice about the PF_RING applications to use, if those 
above are not correct.

Also, it would be great to have some hardware recommendations for this 
application taking into account that I expect to get wire-speed packet capture 
at the outputs. 

For instance, I don't know if I should expect better performance from one 
single Intel 1000BaseT 8-port card compared to two Intel 1000BaseT 4-port card, 
or if there is any server platform that performs well for this kind of 
applications...

Thanks!
Fernando
