So if i'm reading this right, you are talking about big switches, top

Florian and I are interested in the other end of the scale. Little
5-10 port switches in SoHo, STB, WiFi Access points etc. At the

offload some of the firewall rules to the TCAM, we would be happy.
As with all discussions on netdev, that was a distraction;->
Use tc as mentioned by Jiri. Please please no ethtool.
