Rasputin,

You can run routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, RIP etc.) on NICs that include
network processors.  See, for example Radisys's ENP-2611 at
http://www.radisys.com/oem_products/ds-page.cfm?productdatasheetsid=1147

This particular card has an Intel IXP2400 NPU and 3 optical gig-E ports.  It
runs the full suite of ZebOS routing protocols on Linux on the IXP2400's
X-Scale CPU.

Hi,
Nowadays we have distributed router configurations where a lot of
intelligence is put in the
interface cards (line cards) also. Do we in such cases ever run the full
routing protocol daemon
on each interface card along with the main card?

Or, is a scaled down version of a routing protocol run on such interface
cards.

Thanks,
Rasputin
