Plenty of Linux networking gear can drive 10Gbps hardware at line rate, and I'm not even talking about fancy TOE hardware in all cases.

Not having been at the talk, I don't know what circumstances he was talking about (perhaps specifically TCP at 10Gbps?), so I'm not picking a nit with his assertion, just pointing out that something along those lines can be done without scads of memory bandwidth.

Yes, this is about TCP, not just pushing datagrams out..
