I spoke to Director at a large Silicon Valley Semiconductor Co., and we discussed their renewed interest in moving security and network acceleration software into hardware. Specifically they would like to contact companies who are moving layer 4-7 security binaries into network switches(hubs), and network acceleration (caching) software into various hardware. (Director quote, "You can post it, I can't."). If you have an interest or development in moving software into hardware, please contact me, place 'HWPXY' in the subject line. Household name chip company. Bill Stout P.S. - Security software meaning the stable executable components of various proxies, IDS, state-based filters, caching logic, encryption, etc. Variables to reside in RAM, management should be external.
