Hi Rob,

I am not sure about eight, but my setup has 3 USRPs. All the USRPs and my
host are connected to the same Gig-Ethernet switch.

If you feel that your USRP-to-Host networking bandwidth is the bottleneck,
maybe you could try running your wireless experiments over a thinner
channel to reduce the sampling rate, and hence, the data transmitted
between the USRP and host.

Good luck.

Aditya
