- ROFL, and this is my position on this topic as well. TOE is just junk, and we'll reject any attempt to put that garbage into the kernel.

- To do 10 Gbps Ethernet with Jeff's approach, wouldn't you need a 5-10 GHz processor on the card? Sounds expensive. Do you need a 5-10 Ghz Intel server to handle 10 Gbps ethernet? Yes. (Or a 4-way ~2G
