What Jesper's been working on for ages has been to try and get linux's
PPS up for small packets, which last I heard was hovering at about 4Gbits.

The route table lookup also really expensive on the main cpu.
Does this stuff offload the route table lookup also?

Are there rate limiting features? (like on a per customer basis with
matches for ipv4 and ipv6 subnets)

I have never thought there was much of a market for gbit to or from the
home. 40Mbits is enough for nearly everybody until > 4k video with
smellovision and tactile feedback become a standard.

(I may regret saying this in 10 years)
