qnx os based router works well with powerpc, could be pushed far higher load than intel based chips Colin
That's the problem though. Everyone has presentations for the most part, very few actual tools that end users can just use exist.

But I think the general principle applies: think about the minimum number of x86 instructions, and the minimum number of main memory accesses, to inspect a packet header,do arouting table lookup, and enqueue the packet on an outboundinterface. Ican't see that ever getting reduced to the point where a genericservercan handle 40-byte packets at line rate (for that matter, "linerate" isincreasing a lot faster than "speed of generic server" these days).Using DPDK it’s possible to do everything stated and achieve 10Gbpsline rate at 64byte packets on multiple interfaces simultaneously. Add ACLs to the test setup and you can reach significant portions of 10Gbps at 64byte packets and full line rate at 128bytes.Check out Venky Venkatesan’s presentation at the last DPDK Summit forinteresting information on pps/CPU cycles and some of the things that can be done to optimize forwarding in a generic processor environment.http://www.slideshare.net/jstleger/6-dpdk-summit-2014-intel-presentation-venky-venkatesan!DSPAM:54c8de34274511264773590!-- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
