10-GigE for servers

My company is looking for ways to improve throughput for data transfers between individual servers. We’re exploring the creation of Etherchannels using multiple server NICs, but Etherchannel seems to have the limitation of not supporting per-packet load-balancing, therefore limiting traffic between two individual hosts to 1 Gig. In most of my research, I’ve seen 10-GigE used for traffic aggregation and for the “unified fabric” solution that Cisco and others are pushing. I’m interested in knowing if any of you have attempted to implement 10-GigE at the host level to improve network throughput between individual servers and what your experience was in doing so. Thanks in advance, Jason
