Doing the 923 Mbps for one stream may be non-trivial (heck, even doing
110 MB per second sustained to/from disk isn't trivial) but the real
challenge would be having two of those setups each try to do 1 Gbps over
a single connecting while sharing the 1 Gbps link without any slowdowns.
(And no fair having 20 MB interface buffers in the routers.)
