> where you dump packet stream from 4x10gbps cards with minimal 84b size (on ethernet), show that you would exhaust the storage in approx. 4.5 minutes I don't understand your relations here, or the size of the storage you're considering. I did this: 3.5 million packets per second * 84 bytes per packet * 4 interfaces == 101.606 terabytes/day. Or, at the raw interface rate: 10 Gb/s * 4 interfaces == 432 terabytes/day.
