STHers interested in testing Open vSwitch (OVS) + DPDK might want to consider testing on Ubuntu 16.04 (OVS 2.5/DPDK 2.2). Intel's testers found this combination to be much improved over Ubuntu 15.10:

I stumbled across a new SDN programming and automation book STHers might want to look into:
"Next-Generation Network Engineering Skills - Scott's Weblog - The weblog of an IT pro specializing in virtualization, networking, open source, and cloud computing"
Looks promising. I'm not sure why...

I've asked this question on the Mellanox Community forums (QUES: is there a ConnectX-2 VPI MLNX_WinO... | Mellanox Interconnect Community) but nobody (including Mellanox Support) seems to know the answer: is there a ConnectX-2 VPI MLNX_WinOF package for Windows 8 (for use with Hyper-V)...
The Netgear XS708E is too loud to put in my office. Has anyone come across anything that is (i.) "workstation quiet", (ii.) < USD $1K and (iii.) can be configured with 4@10GbE ports?
Yet another stupid question: has anyone tried to install an Intel 10 GbE NIC in an HP Microserver (any version - e.g., N36L, N40L, N54L, Gen8 ...)?

Question: can I directly connect (server chassis <-> disk chassis) two 8-port HBAs (i.e., not use an expander in the disk chassis)? I will only have 8 HDD in the disk chassis.

It needs to support the following:
- JBOD (I will use this for ZFS-based storage)
- SAS host in/out (i.e., SFF-8088) expander
- 24 @ 6 Gb/s...
