(recommendation courtesy koen koi) I also picked up two 30 dollar 10GigE interfaces for spaceheater and whatever I end up calling the second box https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016OYD0D4/ref=3Doh_aui_detailpage_o02_s0= 0?ie=3DUTF8&psc=3D1 I guess in part what I'm mentally shifting to, is what happens after cake? I'd rather like to have something an ISP could use on or near a head end, and that entails moving stuff into hardware (and a few more O(1) algorithms). Mellonox at least used to make a board with hackable FPGAs, and perhaps marvell will be more open about how to program the offload engine next time, and P4 is coming along.
