Initial results for tests with this configuration (using the iPerf 2 tool) indicate that UDP testing is a more reliable assessment of the calibrated bit rate (after correcting for ETH, IP, and UDP header overhead, the values reported below are for protocol payloads of a single UDP stream or 3 TCP connections).
The value plotted for 3 TCP connections at 10000 Mbps uses no tc qdisc, just the 10GE links. A similar value was obtained for 5 TCP connections.
