It's worth mentioning that this proj.sunet.se/LSR2 test was done using
the previous generation of Intel 10Gb PCI-X NICs, the new ones were
announced last week:
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro10GbE_SR_server_adapter.htm
It uses the same controller ASIC, but is half the length and has XPAK
optics.
Interesting stuff regarding the 82597EX 10Gb NIC controller chip and Linux:
