* William Herrin:

The Endace DAG cards claim they can move 7 gbps over a PCI-X bus from
the NIC to main DRAM. They claim a full 10gbps on a PCIE bus.

But they are receive-only, right?

The main problem for "software routing" seems to be that it's basically
Ethernet-only because other interfaces are very difficult to find.
