Re: Routers in Data Centers

I'm more than interested in developing a much cheaper, hardware forwarding router.. I think there is a lot of room for innovation - especially at the target market in this thread. If anyone wants to work with me on this, just let me know! I've got a tonne of ideas and a bit of free time.. NetFPGA is a good platform, im saving my pennies to buy one and do some development. Its only a 4 port device, so not a device you would really use in production however.

I hate to sound (more) like a broken record but if people want to see open source hardware forwarding platforms succeeding (and the software platforms get better), then look at trying to be involved in their development.
