NAT is a stateful network function and incredibly complex to implement efficiently. NAT is never free.

They had a booth at EMEA OCP this year. I still don’t understand who or what is happening there.

I’ve heard (second hand) the commercial impetus/original catalyst for DENT came from Amazon and they’re…less motivated than however many years ago

Some of us kept using OpenBSD (longer than they should’ve?) because of that and a few other related decisions.

So who is everyone, in your meaning?

Ma Bell was never profitable without government cheese. And her offspring can’t do much but complain about how every one else is making huge margins over “their” infrastructure.

Telecom is very very broken.

As a counter-experience, I bought five of the x63s and was so paranoid I’d bork the screens somehow. They all work fine to this day. :shrug:

It is so hopelessly depressing. I was wrapt reading it from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed it as few recent articles at length have been.

And then going to the comments, excitedly no less, to find…this?

Not that my memory is ironclad, but I don’t recall any custom IP or even FPGA attempts at Google re: host networking or NICs. Any good search terms I should try to enlighten myself? thanks!

How, though? Does the TPU team (literally or logically) map to owning IPU h/w successfully?

no one seriously uses Evo in the way JunOS powers things. they’ve managed to package FreeBSD inside some Linux flavors. it’s wild, imo.
