Yes, of course, and for all packet sizes our hardware is capable of line rate, up to the limitations of the system and OS. > 2. Is 10GbE RJ-45 NIC EXPX9501AT order-able? Yes I believe it is available from Dell. > Does the MAC controller > 82598EB capable of > wire speed in full-duplex mode? depending on the packet size, yes. 10GbE traffic is quite a bit more stressful than 1GbE and you'll need a pretty beefy machine. For 1500 MTU most decent servers can keep up at line rate bidirectional at least on a single port.
