Using embedded spaces is a poor choice.

As demonstrated, it's too easy to typo
pkteng as pktgen.

The (what not intel?:) was just teasing.
I think ixp is sufficient.

I never thought of ixp2000 as the family
for the 2400 and 2800/2850.

Castine maybe, ixp2xxx maybe.
ixp2000?  Never heard of it.

Though maybe ixp would be confused for
those ixp4xx and maybe even the original
Digital/Intel ixp1200 parts too.

'course all of this is 10 years old now
and kind of pointless.

cheers, Joe
