Hi Farnaz,

To clarify and expand on Marcus' comments, the answer is maybe.  You can do
burst captures and transmissions at full rate and you can even use timed
commands to synchronize them, but there are limitations.  If you can
describe in more detail what you want to do, we can more clearly tell you
if it is possible.  How many channels do you plan to do simultaneously?
How many 10 GbE connections between the host and switch?  How many 10 GbE
connections between each USRP and the switch?

There is buffering of the TX samples on the X310 and it is configurable.
The current default is 32 MB.  The DRAM is a total of 1 GB, and it can be
divided up however necessary.

Regards,
Michael
