Re: NAT on a Trident/Qumran(/or other?) equipped whitebox?

The older Fulcrum/Intel FM6000 in the Arista 7150 can do NAT.

Not sure if you count Arista as whitebox given their use of merchant
silicon but running their own NOS, however they were touting the 7170
series as being able to do NAT recently. That's a Barefoot Tofino chip
under the hood.

I've no idea how well it can do NAT or what the limitations are mind you,
but it was a specific selling point that they were pushing ...

    Has anyone played around with this?  Curious if the BCM (or whatever
other chip) can do this, and if not, if any of the box vendors have tried
to find a way to get these things to do a bunch of NAT - say some flavour
of NAT, line-rate @ 10G.  If so, anyone know of a NOS that has support for
it?  OcNOS, Cumulus Linux, PicOS and Switch Light OS seem to have none, but
not sure if there are others out there.

    Thanks!
