Re: Linux router network cards

Hi micah, I think this was shared in the past and may be useful with regards to what you expect in terms of performance: https://blog.apnic.net/2020/04/30/how-to-build-an-xdp-based-bgp-peering-rout... . BR, Marinos On 21-Oct-20 6:37 AM, micah anderson wrote:

I'm looking around for networking cards to build a linux based router. It needs to be able to do XDP, multiqueues, have good in-kernel driver support and be able to handle 10Gbe with good offloading for dealing with high packets per second.

What features should I be looking for to really optimize things for a three transit setup, with full tables.

Something like the Intel XL710-QDA2 card maybe?
