=====================================
+* For VMXNET3 use Ubuntu and *not* Fedora.
* Intel SFP+ 10Gb/Sec is the only one supported by default on the standard Linux driver. TRex also supports Cisco 10Gb/sec SFP+.
* Using different NUMA for different NIC is very important when getting to high speeds, such as using several Intel XL710 40Gb/sec. +
One can verify NUMA and NIC topology with following command: lstopo (yum install hwloc) +
