Heh, count me in there...

Intriguing!

There's two 'public references' to it,
- one post on this or the xen-devel list, by it's developer, somewhere
in middle of last year, and I stumbled over some source code commit
log, once
- in the xen summit pdf's at the xensource site;
there's also something called solarflare I think by a company of
embedded gurus (iirc), which is a highspeed virtual networking
implementation including 802.1q; this is the funniest thing - it was
announced, written about, and is available _nowhere_.

Regards,
Florian
