You don't need special hardware like NetFPGA for 1 Gbps.

Did you write a dpif implementation, or do the NetFPGA ports appear as Linux network devices, or...? > Unfortunately I have not found any "official" documentation about > putting OpenVSwitch to work with NetFPGA cards. This brings me to > think that NetFPGA cards are not supported by OpenVSwitch. Open vSwitch has no special support for NetFPGA. (But if you want to contribute some, I think we'd be open to that.) _______________________________________________ openflow-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/openflow-discuss
