Ourselves, we plan to look at a native implementation of a 10G driver (probably Myricom but yet TBD). We are also interested in a more scalable and better performing TCP stack.
Maybe there is the chance to somehow team up with Julian (blitz at GitHub) on this topic? As far as I know, he is genuinely interested in high-performance networking and has profound experience in the domain.
Thanks for the compliment. :)
Maybe there is time to talk about this at FOSDEM. I have 10G Intel hardware available and will probably do a native driver for our userland(s) soonish, which would be available under GPL. If you do not need anything fancy (IPsec offload, weird PHY programming, ...), it should be easily portable to Genode.
