Am I the only person who has heard of Google? It didn't take me long to find this wiki page http://www.bro-ids.org/wiki/index.php/ClusterFrontends for an Opensource Intrusion Detection System that lists various 10G cards for Linux and a couple of FPGA cards so that you can roll your own ASICs. Anyway, this one http://www.lewiz.com/talon3220.html has two ports and claims to reach 8.8 Gbps with 1500 byte packets. People rolling their own router are not the only ones who want to do 10G on Linux. --Michael Dillon
