Well, during the last 3 months I've been working a lot in building a router from an FPGA. Don't worry about the details. For those with some experience I was doing the hardware side using Verilog. More details in here:
We were 5 teams involved in this course and last Wednesday we had to present our work. We were 2 people in my team, my colleague Alex doing the software side. To the presentation we had a series of important people from Cisco, Redgate, Zeus, Microsoft, Ensoft and (I think) Xilinx. Based on our results (and presentations) they decided who was the winning team. We also had Fred Baker (editor of rfc1812 and IETF chair) from CISCO on video-conference as part of the judges.
So as I was saying on IM ... we won!
I was extremely happy about winning because it involved a lot of work and to be honest the other teams were very good as well. I think what I was most proud about is that some of my colleagues from other teams already had experience with the platform I was using, whereas for me it was something new.
Well I won't bore you more on this. Dana is calling for me. We are going in town for some (hopefully) nice fireworks. This weekend Cambridge is ending the 800 years celebration and there are some light shows going on.
