Take a look at the Mellanox ConnectX 5 series of cards. They handle DPDK, PVRDMA (basically SR-IOV that allows live migration between hosts), and can even process packets within the NIC for some
From what I can tell, SR-IOV/PVRDMA aren't really useful for me in building a router that wont be doing any virtualization.
If the card can do DPDK, can it do XDP?

It's heavily targeting virtualised workloads but some of the feature sets apply to bare-metal uses too.
Yeah, this wont be a virtualized environment, just a router passing packets, dropping them, handling bgp and collecting flows. -- micah
