Thats basically broadcom. we had a lot of issues with broadcom in the past. so we would definitely prefer intel X710 or the mellanox nics.

X710 had even more issues, believe me - this card is total crap and we exhanged hundreds to Intel X520 and other brands. We use Dell QL41262HLCU-DE 10/25GbE in more then hundred servers without any issues.

The Drivers for the (former) broadcom nics are just crap (at least the linux versions). They always had problems wie Link aggregations and caused a lot of flappings. Even some oflfoadings didn't worked as expected.

We have thousands of X710 and hundreds of Connect X4 LX and X5 without any problems. Thats why we prefer those
