<div dir="ltr"><div><br>> The comment about the WNDR3800 not being able to push this is of course relevant, so I guess we need a better platform if we want to do testing for these higher speeds.<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>
</font></span></div><div><br></div>One thing that I've noticed a number of newer chipsets doing is moving "network acceleration" into hardware, as a way to get to gigabit speeds with a <1GHz processor. <div>
<br></div><div>I've been leery of them for fear of how much the linux network stack has to get hacked up to make that hardware work. If it's just DMA, that's one thing, but if it's implementing packet inspection in hardware... Not so much. At least for a research/testing platform, a pure software solution is definitely going to be more useful.<div>
