Une attaque sur le réseau gitoyen a eu lieu le 18 juin et une sur tetaneutral.net le 29 juin, ces deux attaques etaient en "paquet par seconde" (PPS) avec de petits paquets de 50-60 byte qui saturent les CPU des routeurs logiciels.

L'idée est d'étudier via des recherches sur le web et des laboratoires/ateliers le comportement des routeurs logiciels dans ce cas la : limites atteintes en fonction du paramétrage et du matériel (carte réseau, CPU et fréquence).

** So with your patch, Eric's patch, and this most recent patch we are now at 11.8Mpps with 8 or 9 queues. At this point I am staring to hit the hardware limits since 82599 will typically max out at about 12Mpps w/ 9 queues.

*** "In our prototype, a single core running at 900 MHz can send or receive 14.88 Mpps (the peak packet rate on 10 Gbit/s links). This is more than 20 times faster than conventional APIs."

A priori il suffit de deux machines pour pouvoir commencer chez soi.
