Hello all, I have a T1/E1 device driver: ( completed till PCI initialization and other device-internals initialization,including interrupts handling procedures), now i am not understanding how to provide the interface to upper layers?. I have walked through the lapb-module.txt and some code of IPX, but still the things are not clear. Can any one help/guide me? -Thanks Hari

I read in the paper that sending across two Intel Gbe with one > CPU gets up to 36o Kpps. Yes forwarding performance... A good chip/driver can itself do a lot more. I have seen very decent numbers with e1000, tg3 and dl2k. For FE tulip has been a top performer for long time but I also now see 144 kpps from my laptop w. 3c59x driver. Cheers. --ro
