[AusNOG] RouterBoard CCR1036-8G-2S+

[Joseph Goldman]

There are problems with single threaded transfer - there seems to be a 
limit of around 1gbit in single threaded TCP transfers - I haven't 
tested this myself for a while (6.20, now at 6.27) but from what I 
understand the problem still exists.

It shouldn't be a problem for multi-threaded (ISP style) traffic though. 
We use the 10gbit port on the 1036 for interconnectivity to Megaport, 
and although our traffic levels aren't in the multi-gigabit, we don't 
have much trouble with it.
