Haven't figured out much on interfacing the thing to offboard gear (I'd have liked it if it had a pci interface). So is interfacing up a second network card "trivial" on the I/Os provided? And wanted esata, or some high speed disk I/O interface for captures. I'd rather like to continue forward on the zedboard front. The prospect of designing an ethernet chip that actually could incorporate fq_codel etc is very exciting. The RGII interface is available to access directly, in particular. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Dave Taht" > Sent: Sunday, February 3, 2013 1:17pm > To: "Mark Constable" > Cc: cerowrt-devel@lists.bufferbloat.net > Subject: Re: [Cerowrt-devel] stanford talk/deluged in hardware/yurtlab > > Well, I see it for 320.
