You should be able to strip out the ethernet code to move some of
it to the rtl side.
S. Pink and his colleagues in Sweden came up with a great idea for routing
that could "easily" be adaped to RTLinux.
They used a dual processor system and put BSD on one processor and put
a simple router that fit, with its routing table, in the L2 cache of the
second. the router polled the nics. Whenever the router could not figure
out how to route a message, it passed the message on to the other processor
to let BSD work on it.
RTLinux could do this on a uniprocessor, losing the advantage of the L2
cache (except on a cyrix), but not needing to poll the nics.
