The MXGE project is an effort to port a proprietary, vendor supplied
Solaris GLDv2 ethernet driver for the Myricom 10GE NIC to an
OpenSolaris GLDv3 driver.

This project will start with the vendor's GLDv2 driver and integrate
it into OpenSolaris.  Once the driver is part of OpenSolaris, we will
port the driver to use GLDv3. This port could provide an example for
other vendors wishing to update their drivers to GLDv3.  This port
will include changes like transitioning the driver from using taskqs
to parallelize receiving multiple TCP streams to using GLDv3's
softrings.

The Myricom 10GE NIC is a firmware programmable PCI-Express x8 10GbE
NIC.  You can find more information about the hardware at
