Once you're done with this and the program works albeit slowly you can optimize some if its parts rewriting them in assembly (gcc enables to write assembly in C code) THe only problem I see is whether the 'enbedded' system yuo seem to write the router for does support DPMI? The opposite way may not work BTW have you checked the LinuxRouter and other router focused projects on the web ?
