[SL] Sorry, I'm unclear then. Is your question how to increase the link speed 
setting for the virtual Ethernet device? Based on one of your earlier messages 
showing 26.4 Gbps between VMs on the same host, it seems as if this "limit" 
doesn't really matter. Unless I'm missing something? (I apologize if so.)
