 impressive. Seems to require a hpc (high pin count) board, which zed isn't.

625 eu. While I am painfully aware of how much it costs to step ahead of
the bleeding edge, I think the odds are pointing harder and harder at doing
a non-fpga design that does what I want...

I may go back to looking at octeons or ti's new octeon killer.

And/or leveraging a newer atheros reference board.
