[ale] 40GB / sec TCP/IP router using COTS hardware!

[greg.freemyer at gmail.com (Greg Freemyer)]

I just saw this:

http://www.technologyreview.com/communications/26096/

The article doesn't say if it uses Linux or not, but it's interesting either
way.

AIUI, the key is they are using a GPU to handle the "encrypting or
authenticating packets".

Is that activity ultra common in a router?  I know packet shaping activity,
etc. is common, but I was not aware of the security aspects.

Thanks
Greg
