fastforward/routing: a 3 million packet-per-second system?

[Andreas Nilsson]

Well, it shows how easily one can saturate the link. Just use more ports,
the will be saturated as well.

The problem though is that netmap requires that one implements the
forwarding "logic" I think.

Best regards
Andreas
