This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Realtek, don’t they have issues with drivers in FreeBSD? Or am I horribly out of date.
In any case I’m excited, even if i barely tap into 1gbe capability most of the time.
Not sure if they provide official drivers for FreeBSD. Intel is usually a safer bet in that case.
To make use of a 10Gb network, wouldn't I also need all of my equipment in between things to support 10Gb? Where am I supposed to get a 10Gb modem for residential use?
I use 10GbE for my internal network for my Ceph cluster. I’ve come about 80% of theoretical maximum for brief spikes from my NVMe drives rebalancing (mostly HDDs, few SSDs, couple NVMes).
I am just wondering if it would be better to go straight to fiber instead of ethernet as most have fiber to the home anyway. That should help with future speed upgrades beyond 10Gbit as well.
Fiber is also more power efficient? Why not?
You need more than10Gb/s at home? I mean we all know the 640Kb meme but I'm curious here :-)
I frequently transfer data over the LAN at a higher rate than my internet connection.
Kinda wish it was easier to test the connection speed between devices tbh, unless someone knows a good way of doing it but many devices are so locked down I am not sure how you would.
