I guess Moore's Law comes into play again.  One will need some
pretty hefty TCP buffers for a single stream to hit those rates,
unless latency _really_ drops.  (Distributed CDNs, anyone?  Speed
of light ain't getting faster any time soon...)

Of course, IMHO I expect DCDNs to become increasingly common...
but that topic would warrant a thread fork.

Looks like RR ISLs are feasible between GigE+ core switches...
