We actually try really, really hard not to blast 400Gb/s at a single client. The 400Gb/s is in aggregate.

Our transport team is working on packet pacing, or really packet spreading, so that any bursts we send are small enough to avoid being dropped by the client, or an intermediary (cable modem, router, etc).




Have you done any work to see whether the NIC hardware packet pacing mechanisms could improve QoE by reducing bursts?
