Re: Capturing 10GbE on a Linux laptop?

Hi Richard,

I know there are some USB-C 10G network adapters (and the ProfiShark 10G, of
course), but I haven't tested any of them. Writing that much data to disk is
something I do with small portable servers (about the size of a small shoe box)
with a FPGA based capture card.

Cheers,
Jasper

Hi folks,

Last year using my Cubro EX2+ I managed to capture around 600MB/s on
my Lenovo P51 laptop.

My P51 has a Thunderbolt 3 interface and has two 1TB NVMe storage
devices that are capable of 2+GBps write speeds.

I was aggregating multiple 1GbE interfaces into one of the 10GbE
interfaces and then using a 10GbE to Thunderbolt 3 adapter.

I had two Windows laptops and two OSX 10 laptops driving the load and
interestingly the Apple laptops were generating more load than the
Windows laptops via SMB2.

My question is: Is there a Linux laptop out there that can handle that
load. I have looked at System 76 and Librem but it does not seem they
are capable of handling the load.
