But really you should get some newerish hardware with on-cpu PCIe and memory controllers (and preferably QPI). That architectural jump really upped the networking throughput of commodity hardware, probably by orders of magnitude (people were doing 40Gbps routing using standard Linux 5 years ago).Any ideas of the setup??? Maybe as far as naming some chipset, interface? And xserver that is the best candidate. Will google.. :)
Base model e5 CPU is generally considered adequate, and has direct link between cache and PCI bypassing memory. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/data-direct-i-o-faq.html Motherboard is likely to have i350 chipset for ethernet. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ethernet-controllers/ethernet-i350-server-adapter-brief.html Ben.
