Hi everyone,
what do you think about the announced future roadmap from 25th of February 2015:
Jim Thompson announced the rewriting of the pfSense core (including pf, network packet forwarding and shaping, link bonding, IPsec, etc.) using Intel's DPDK Data Plane Development Kit.

Are they heading for big iron and heavy industry? Will they do it? What are the other BSD take towards Intel's DPDK? Main question here, is/will OpnenBSD develop towards there?

I mean, in essence pfSense will have to rewrite nearly everything in the pfSense software (plus bug hunt months and community testing), so will their stuff be portable back in to our OPNsense? Or are we divided more or less totally?
