Re: routing performance w/embedded linux on ppc?

I'm looking for some papers, pointers, or whatever regarding linux
routing performance on midrange embedded ppc hardware, for example
the moto8245 and ibm405GP (as used inside the Xilinx Virtex II Pro).

The core in the Virtex-II Pro is not a full 405GP but only a
PowerPC 405 core with MMU and caches in hard-core. When using soft-core
(IP) Ethernet implementations connected to the OPB bus (the slower
bus, compared to the PLB bus), the OPB bus bandwidth may be the
limiting factor.
