Sandvine looks to have similar specs on their platforms as well. Anyways, that would be really surprising to me Simon. I didn't expect a multi-generational leap in performance until more things used PF_RING from ntop, or things like netmap gain in development and popularity. I know 6WIND does similar things with kernel bypass, pushing the stack into user space, but AFAIK there are only about 4 or 5 companies with any sort of kernel bypass capability of the network stack.
If you have any additional information, please do share. This is a fascinating topic I've been monitoring since around 2011.
