Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:37:59 +0100 From: Luigi Rizzo <rizzo@....unipi.it> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: new version of netmap for linux (20120322) I have updated the linux version of the netmap code, specifically fixing the 'igb' driver which was not working earlier. The code and tinycore images for today's version 20120322 are available in the same location http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ cheers luigi On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 12:08:09AM +0100, Luigi Rizzo wrote: > just in case you might be interested... > > i have recently completed a linux port of the netmap framework. > Code, documentation and PicoBSD/Tinycore bootable images are at > > http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ > > Netmap is a device-independent framework for packet generation and > capture from user space; it can do line rate at 10Gbit/s (14.88Mpps) > with just one core at about 1GHz. > > Netmap relies on a kernel module (netmap_lin.ko) and slightly > modified device drivers (about 4-500 lines per driver).
