Thanks. I'd be more interested to see performance for Trio, EZChip and perhaps
even pq3/qoriq SEC2/SEC3. Real platforms, deployed in volume today. but I
guess this data, at least for Trio would be very difficult to acquire.
However pq3/qoriq would, in my mind, be software implementation, as it's
control-plane CPU, which means BFD would have to be punted as well.
