Work ongoing?

[Seth Hall]

What's the status of the ringmap project? Is there any hope of it
continuing and getting integrated into mainline FreeBSD? There are
those of us out here with high hopes for this project!

Hello Seth,

sorry for late answer. Current work on ringmap is frozen for the next
few months.
I'd like to suggest to you to take a look at the new FreeBSD project "NETMAP"
The idea of NETMAP is the same as by ringmap, but NETMAP has more functions:
it can not only used for capturing but also for sending packets. And
actually NETMAP
is going to be integrated in FreeBSD-CURRENT, what means that in the
next years it
will PROBABLY appear in the STABLE.

the urls:
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/

the person who responsible for the project is:
Luigi Rizo: ri...@iet.unipi.it

Best regards and success in your work,
Alexander

Great, thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize that ringmap completely covered the same functionality as ringmap.
