Jamal: I am not fond of that name because not everything that offloads
off a port is a switch (some mention of fitting even with dpdk)
Jiri: What do you have - an L3 "switch"?
Jamal: No, it is something that does offloading of packet processing off
a port with flows and action. Example a netronome would be a good fit (if
you are to ignore Simon going for OVS).

So what is your name suggestion?
