>I'm well aware of the Click Router project (which dealt with data at layer 3, not layer 4, BTW). But I could have for instance zebra taking care of the control plane and click working with the data plane right? >Among other things, it rewrote the ethernet card firmware to get the packets per second rate up where it is. Wow that is crazy >Netgraph is more comparable to Streams. It does not support a "pull model", as used by ClickRouter elements, nor does it support the idea of flow (which, theoretically, could allow a two port card with shared memory avoid the PCI bus transfer overhead, the same way that the SiBytes card that Chris Demetriou had a hand in creating). So does that mean i couldn't use it for the dataplane like click? Alex Newman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
