New architectures might be helpful to achieve such throughput e.g. Myricom pci-e Gen2 10GE cards on new Intel Nehalem based servers. -Azher Leo Bicknell wrote:

That's probably going to be the biggest constraint on "a few 10GBE interfaces" if they all get going full blast. Remember that each packet is going to burn bandwidth twice - once in and once out...PCIe, x8 or x16, which is serial point to point. http://www.csc.kth.se/~olofh/10G_OSR/10Gbps.pdf 25 Gb/sec across 4x10G ports on higher end but far from topped out hardware.
