Right, but that's a pretty lame clock. > 14:31 <b> supposedly an asrock board is coming that can be 10Gbase-T or SFP+ Also the only one so far I've seen able to support multiple PCIe.

The X10SRW comes in some 1U variants that can handle two PCIe so it'd be an interesting router platform that does not eat lots of space. > Also: 1.4Mpps per 10G link doesnt seem like the minimum packetsize one wants > for > handling DOS attacks, but I might be bad at math.
