[Bloat] intel BNG kit

[Dave Taht <dave.taht@gmail.com>]

Anyone know anyone at intel that can talk coherently to the new BNG kit?

" Scalable per 100 GbE instances
• Each 100 GbE instance supports 32,000 queues
• 3–7 scheduling layers, with a default configuration of 5 layers
• 8 GB or 16 GB of HBM2 memory for traffic buffering, depending on the
specific Intel® FPGA
• QDR-IV, eSRAM memory for queue management tables
• Congestion control
• Fine shaping granularity, supporting a combination of low-bandwidth
services (e.g., voice)
and high-bandwidth broadband service" -
