Interested in opportunities in computer networking? Check out Snabb Switch!

Snabb Switch is open source software for solving novel problems in networking. We are blending the latest techniques for high-performance x86 packet processing together with a high-level LuaJIT programming interface. Our goal is to offer the easiest way to create and deploy new network functions in large scale networks.

With Snabb Switch you can:

1. Use 10G network interfaces at full speed right out of the box.
2. Create your own new functionality with LuaJIT scripts.
3. Join a community of creative networking professionals who all want your project to succeed.
4. Use the Snabb Lab to test your code with 500+ Gbps of networking bandwidth in Xeon servers with 1G/10G/40G adapters from Intel, Mellanox, SolarFlare, and Chelsio.

and here is how to take advantage:

1. Network owners: Hire open source professionals to solve your problems on your own terms.
2. Network engineers: Use your own creativity to solve the networking problems that you care about.
3. Startup founders: Build new products based on Snabb Switch and sell them for lots of money.
4. System integrators: Deploy ready-made solutions and make value-added extensions for your customers without any license costs.
5. Software engineers: Join challenging projects and do exciting work with LuaJIT, C, assembler, device drivers, and (coming) Verilog.
6. Hardware vendors: Get your gear selected for new projects by providing evaluation hardware and documentation for the Snabb Lab.
