    Is it possible that TNSR with 40G NIC communicates with 4 hosts with 10G NIC using a breakout cable without intermediate switch?

      Anyone know this?
      I means:

      TNSR with 40G NIC ==>(40G to 4x10G breakout cable)==> 4 x hosts with 10G NIC

        Seems to me if it presents to the OS as 4 independent NICs and the NICs are compatible with dpdk it should work.

          @Derelict Thanks for reply.

          Did you mean NPAR(NIC Partitioning)? Could you indicate the specific name of the feature which enables that one NIC presents to the OS as 4 NICs?

          Or could you recommend some NICs from TNSR recommended NICs etc?
