question about hardware acceleration feature usage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am looking at choosing a processor for an application that will
handle quite a bit of packet processing using netfilter.

I have seen embedded processors such as those from Ubicom and
Freescale that have hardware support for filter processing, but I
can't find information anywhere if this is exploited in
Netfilter/Linux. Is there indeed any support for this kind of
hardware, or is all processing done in software on all platforms? If
there is support, is there a summary of supported chips?

Best Regards
Daniel Nilsson
