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

[Joel Wirāmu Pauling]

Just a head's up I have had issues with the X5xx intel SFP+ optics
interoperating with other vendors. This may not be an issue for your
deployment.

If you want good interop then Broadcom based optics seem to be the
best bet at the moment.
