You mentioned a "high" rate of 683 Mbit/sec. If that's a good rate for you, you don't need switching ASIC for that. Open vSwitch can handle several gigabits per second on commodity PC server hardware. And its performance won't drop by a factor of 1000 when you start modifying headers. _______________________________________________ openflow-discuss mailing list openflow-discuss@lists.stanford.edu https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/openflow-discuss
