I would be interested in a such a thing. I've tried approaching the
Linux crowd for such information, but they seem more interested in
writing patches to blink LEDs when Netfilter does something than
talking about performance and scaling considerations.
If anyone would like to drop me a line off-list to point me in the
right direction, I'd be very grateful. So far the most useful
information I've found on the topic has been via this list.
PS I'm talking specifically about Linux. The FreeBSD and OpenBSD
crowd seem to have lists that provide this sort of thing already.
