[Cerowrt-devel] 10GigE nics and SFP+ modules?

[Wes Felter]

The Intel X710 just came out today; it's a little cheaper. (Note that 
the X710 is 10G and the XL710 is 40G because XL is 40 in Roman numerals.)

(I've never bought from Colfax, but they carry a lot of "enterprise" 
equipment that isn't available on NewEgg/Amazon.)

There are super-cheap optics and twinax available from China. You may 
have to hack the Intel driver since they're not "supported".

Or you could just get an account at the Snabb Lab.
