Chris, I work with iHDTV <http://ihdtv.org>, a project that sends uncompressed high definition television (1.5 Gbps) as UDP over two 1 Gbps interfaces. If both interfaces are on the same subnet, the OS sees the same router (gateway) address on both interfaces, and the results are sub-optimal ... around 50% packet loss.
