Line rate 10Gbit/s packet processing on FreeBSD with netmap

This is really very interesting.<p>I work with Juniper routers and switches all day and every day, the thing I love about them is they're built on top of FreeBSD (now called JunOS, but it still harks back to FreeBSD when you drop to the shell)<p>Something small and light and fast, running on FreeBSD with this added would be perfect for customer CPE equipment or for non-essential routing tasks.<p>Very impressive, I look forward to seeing where this goes.

As many have said on -CURRENT: Thanks for the great work. Do you plan on getting this merged into the FreeBSD tree, and maintaining it?

This is impressive. How is the performance on different packet sizes? Most real world loads would require far fewer than 14.88Mpps since most packets would be equal to MTU. So I'm wondering if performance would increase or decrease with packet size.

Great! Maybe you could compare this with <a href="http://www.ntop.org/PF_RING.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.ntop.org/PF_RING.html</a> for Linux?

Very clever solution on stack bridging. +1
