Right now, if you need perfomance, you're going to have to buy something like bcom chip and then cumulusnetworks linux on top of it, it's as close to 'open source' as you're going to get with good performance. And this is more or less DC stuff, SP market needs more intelligent chips than those ASICs, and I don't think there anything 'open source' in the market place for NPU stuff.
Indeed. Broadcom are making lots of interesting cheap and fast ASIC's, but they're data centre focused, or serve a specific platform feature set with Cisco/Juniper that has a number of restrictions, just to keep the costs down. Mark.
