Hi, Sepherosa,
     Thanks for your reply.  I'm glad to know Multi FIB probably will be supported in the next release cycle, did you have some plan about support flow cache, npf or smp friendly pf, and per-cpu statistics, netflow/ipfix etc. As a router box, we need a platform with "integrated solution" . Maybe write a roadmap is a good start.  I would like to test dfly BSD with real traffic when the next version released.

Best Regards,
Simon

So I took a look at BSD family. I've tested freebsd a bit, it have trouble with polling and NIC‘s multi queues, and it have high context switch.

Netgraph is under BGL, which means it is bad for performance.  ipfw is lockless MPSAFE, pf is still under one token (which also causes performance issue).  Basic BIRD functionality should just work (no policy routing, since it requires multiple routing table support).
