Pramod, You are right.
Now, the next question would be to see if the incoming rate can be sustained. Because, 1GB/s is quite a bit for the n/w stack to handle. We would enough of CPU power to handle that rate of n/w interrupts and process the data. So, probably it would make sense to have multiple edge machines with thumpers in the backend and data being striped across these multiple boxes. Infact I was wondering if the LustreFS over ZFS (ref. to recent Constellation announcement) makes more sense.... but, I have not explored what kind of h/w they would support. All-in-all a good challenge to handle :-)) Cheers, Sanjeev.
