Hi,

yes, you can, but keep in mind that switches can be additional causes for
packet loss/reordering/other things, and potentially add latency. For 10
GbE you typically have a managed switch, and you should be able to
configure it (e.g., some switches have a configuration for maintaining
packet order). But in principle, there's nothing wrong with using a switch.
