This is a lazy definition and won’t get you past “Go” when making network equipment. Why not use 9000 byte “Jumbo” frames? You’ll only need to process 1,383 packets per second to fill the link!

“Line rate” is not “fill the link with TCP”. Line rate is “fill the link with 84 octet (including all overhead) frames.” For 100M Ethernet this requires 148,809 packets per second. Edit: for 1538 octet frames, one need only process 8,127 p

I didn’t know Chatfield, but I knew Ron McDowell (also mentioned). Ron passed away in 2012. The last thing he worked on was FreeBSD’s bsdconfig(8).
