Actually, no. I asked a question, and I also hoped it would be obvious that I had read the description of your proposed product. In fact, I had read most of the material on your site, and got interested. I don't know where you got this "debate" idea from, but let me rephrase the question. I got the impression (which may be wrong, and you are welcome to correct me) that the revolutionary character of the product lies in the protocol stack you propose to implement in hardware that will yield much better performance then the current software stack. To utilize this capability you will need to "revolutionize" the kernel's networking code, which strikes me, on the face of it, as a bit much for a student given a reasonable amount of time. The web page mentions that the card will also be able to use the unmodified software stack in an "OS-independent mode". In this case you won't have to do much kernel work apart from an ethernet card driver, but you will not get much "network acceleration" out of it, will you? It does sound like a compatibility mode... So what's the goal and the scope of the proposed activity? You should be able to answer without any NDA since this question is likely to be asked by any prospective job candidate, IMHO. > I would recommend, in this case, the room next to the Academy of > silly walks.
