FreeBSD network optimization project

[Vitalii Duk]

Hello, colleagues!

I'm working in ISP and use FreeBSD on BRAS'es.
I have noticed that there are few problems in FreeBSD, which do not allow
to use it on high speeds (>10G, >2Mpps).
So I have a suggestion to create a list of improvements that needed to be
done in FreeBSD collectively, to improve network perfomance and be on the
same or higher level as Linux or Vyatta.
After we create a todo list, it's possible to organize a donation for those
developers who can do that job.
I'm ready to donate money for this project, and I think that I'm not only
one interested in it. I like FreeBSD and I don't want to migrate to another
OS.

My list of improvements in very general words (needed to be detailed):
1. Improve network subsystem and kernel to provide >10G forwarding.
2. Improve dummynet to provide massive shaping service and to be not single
threaded (or maybe write something radically new).
3. Replace/rewrite libalias to support massive NAT service and remove
current problems and limitations (non-SMP, offloading problems, etc).
4. Better work of tcpdump on >10G speeds (BPF improvements).

Thank you in advance. Waiting for some other suggestions and support from
specialists.
