Hi Tim,
The talk was a bit crammed for time, but the next speaker didn't show up, so we unexpectedly had time for questions.
Once I get the last bit's done, I will do a more detailed blog post, about the setup we are making at my hackerspace Labitat (AS2052350), for that we also need forwarding to directly connected hosts and reverse path filtering. One of the last slides has a picture of this setup, with a thin client and a ConnectX-5 running at <15W while doing 10G routing (DAC).
Hi Thanks for the post, that seems like an interesting way to do high-performance forwarding. Is is possible to use this approach when a packet is forwarded between NICs (or at least between multiple ports on one NIC)? So it seems there are at least three ways how to do high-performance forwarding with Linux and BIRD: 1) White-box routers with hardware forwarding plane 2) VPP dataplane 3) tc-based rules that are offloaded to NIC -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
