Hi Francisco,
I have a similar setup currently.  I'm pushing about 3,000 connections,
205mbit, 0.01 load and barely any CPU usage.  I'm looking at a possible
project where I would need to support at least 10gbit/sec of bandwidth
so i'm trying to figure how how the heck I can accomplish that.  I've
already accepted that i'll need several pairs of LVS servers using
bonded gig-e, but it would be nice if i could also use active-active to
increase my bandwidth capability.
