Join us as we delve into the NetFPGA project, a hardware accelerator that utilizes Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) to drive Gigabit network links. With the NetFPGA-1G board, you can implement an open source IPv4 router, enhance network security with hardware-accelerated solutions, and integrate various networking applications. This update includes insights on recent deployments, upcoming tutorials, and collaboration opportunities in modular router module design. Discover how to leverage the NetFPGA community and its resources!
