Ha, would probably make the shield a nice frying pan...

On another note have you seen anything on your work about the hardware acceleration that out CN7020 chip has but was never used in our build from Itus?
Yes.  Actually, you can enable it in the Firewall settings under Hardware and Software Offloading.  This gives me about 150MiBps of additional throughput on a speedtest.  Of course, this is before snort or anything gets to touch it :)

Also, now enabled (at least in the 5.4 version) are the crypto() octeon-optimized code.  OCTEON has specific crypto() acceleration for MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512 (I believe 512 is on the list, I'd have to check) that is enabled in the kernel.  There are other things I'm still looking at, like why the Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) schemas aren't available, but I dunno if that's a priority right now.
