I'd like to thank you all, my hardware request was effective. Martin
Re: Donation request for Network SMP development
Hi Martin I can help you about switch. Where we can find a switch? Ebay?

Donation request for Network SMP development
If you've been following my contributions to OpenBSD's kernel, you already know that in the past years I've been working on the Network Stack [1] to make it more SMP friendly [2]. All the network hackers present at s2k15 agreed to volunteer me to work on the next step: properly integrate the pseudo-drivers (carp(4), vlan(4), trunk(4)...) in order to take ether_input() out of the kernel lock. But since I no longer have the support of a company, I don't have the correct toys to do this task. That's why I'm looking for the following hardware, to build a crazy test & development CARP setup: - A small managed switch (8+ ports) preferably with a CLI interface like HP Procurves 25xx. - Two small fanless MP amd64 machines with 3+ NIC and a serial console like PC Engines APU or Lanner LEC. I'm based in Europe, please contact me if you can help out. Thanks, Martin [1] http://www.openbsd.org/papers/tamingdragons.pdf [2] http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20150218085759
