It's worth mentioning that this proj.sunet.se/LSR2 test was done using the previous generation of Intel 10Gb PCI-X NICs, the new ones were announced last week:

It uses the same controller ASIC, but is half the length and has XPAK optics.

Interesting stuff regarding the 82597EX 10Gb NIC controller chip and Linux:

Have a look at proj.sunet.se/LSR2.
