Curious aside -- is there any blog / article out there where someone has tried to max out network bandwidth on an x86 box? I checked a POWER8 we have today and it has 14 PCIe3 slots (mix of 8x/16x), so theoretically one could load up 14 40GbE NICs on it. I'd be interested to see some kind of I/O shootout to see where both systems hit a wall. e.g. Snabb Switch 20x10GbE on x86 https://lukego.github.io/blog/2013/06/23/echoing-packets-with-snabb-switch/ https://lukego.github.io/blog/2013/06/23/echoing-packets-wit...
