      Only question I ask is that I have always seen the interrupts max out CPU's. Is there a way to minimise this?

      Would make kit like this useful.

        Multiple queues in igb/em and MSIX should get around that problem.  You'll likely hit the same issue I have (FW-8865 w/ E3-1245 V2 & 12x i350 NICs) under 2.1 though as the igb driver is a bit buggy (force a single queue & disable MSIX to avoid crashes) with a large number of NICs and/or CPU cores.

        I can break anything.

          Where did you get this appliance? What is the price?

          Thanks in advance

            How do you force a single que and disable the MSIX
