I haven't heard much as far as CCR 10G incompatibility issues.

Subject: Updated Ookla Speedtest Server Requirements
Esteemed Legions of NANOG:
Does anyone have better and more modern recommendations for the hardware of
an Ookla speedtest server?
Here is the link to their recommendations.

I want a server that is capable of handlilng a speedtest up to 10Gbps. I
plan to do this with an SFP+ port when my network comes along. (As soon as
MikroTik comes out with a decent 10G CCR router that is compatible with more
SFPs.)
In the mean time I will just test 1 Gbps speeds off a copper GE port, but
want the SFP+ capability so I don't have to repurchase hardware in the next
year.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Lorell Hathcock
