linux computer as network switch
Hi,
I have a computer and several network cards. Is there software to create my own switch out of this? I guess it wouldn't have to be linux, but being free would be nice.

Thanks for the discussion, it was very interesting.
I don't think You can tune/hack bgp to be usefull in eth switch - it's designed for totally different thing. But whatever.

Josh I am not too sure about any real use, but I'm just curious if it's possible and since it seems interesting I thought I might read about it. Wouldn't it be useful if the computer had OpenBGP, or is that for routers only?
