Introduced 10 Gbit DNA driver

Hi all
if you are willing to test the 10 Gbit DNA driver, it's now time to do it. We have just released PF_RING 4.7.0 that includes this new driver offered at no cost by Silicom, who has sponsored its development. Silicom is also offering evaluation adapters at no cost to all those willing to use this driver. All details are available here: http://www.ntop.org/blog/pf_ring/introducing-the-10-gbit-pf_ring-dna-driver/

Enjoy Luca

Hi Luca,

Congratulations !! This is really impressive as always and good to
see Silicom is working so well with you.

BTW, my comment on monitoring 2x1GE links with commodity hardware was
to try to stablish the minimum hardware, of course any current platform
is able to cope with that as you have clearly shown, but try to stablish
the minimum due to cost / power / cooling concerns.

Regards

Jaime
any thanks: get a free 10G card from Silicom and test it.

If monitoring means packet capture, then a dual core machine can do the job. If instead you need to process packets it's another story. What do you need to do exactly?

Sure sure, Im just contacting Michael on this.

I would like to:

1) Capture the packet in interface A
2) nprobe
3) Inject the packet in interface B (same queue, different interface
and TX instead of RX)

The same from B->A

Actually I dont know if thats the exact order when using pf_ring
"reflection" but you get the idea. This box would do anything else but
basic ssh access (in a different interface) for management

With respect to CPU, I was thinking in the Atom D425 as I believe is
the cheapest alternative and also very low demanding in power and
cooling) Yes, I know you like Core2Duo but I thing they are more expensive.
