Henning, I told you, we should not talk about unfinsihed projects. We planned to announce this in exactly 7 weeks. Anyway, to late, the cat is out of the bag. So Henning and Oga are working at offloading pf into the graphic card cores by using the DRI interface. The shader will evaluate the ruleset and packets in parallel and use the graphic memory for the state table. Additionally if the speed of one card is not enough you can use SLI or crossfire to use multiple cards in parallel. -- :wq Claudio It is just a 3-line diff
