Wow, this is really important! if this is a college project, I give you a D. Maybe a D- because it's almost useless information. You ignore the most important aspect of "performance". Efficiency is arguably the most important aspect of performance.  1M pps at 20% cpu usage is much better "perform

What's the point of all of this gobbledygook anyway? Seriously, 99% of the world needs a driver that passes packets in the most efficient way, and every time I look at igb and ixgbe it has another 2 heads. It's up to 8 heads, and none of the things wrong with it have been fixed. This is now even

Frankly I'm baffled by netmap. You can easily write a loadable kernel module that moves packets from 1 interface to another and hook in the firewall; why would you want to bring them up into user space? It's 1000s of lines of unnecessary code. On Sunday, May 3, 2015 3:10 AM, Raimundo S

I notice that there hasn't been an update in the Intel Download Center since July. Is there no official support for 10? We liked to use the intel stuff as an alternative to the "latest" freebsd code, but it doesnt  compile. BC ___ freebsd-net@freebsd.
