How much incoming traffic can I process on a network card with two 100GbE ports(Mellanox X5)? Is it 100Gbs or 200Gbs incoming traffic?

  • It is 100 Gbps per interface, but understand that a single flow will use a single interface. If you bond with round-robin balancing, you can actually decrease performance due to things like out-of-order packet delivery, and it is death to real-time protocols, such as VoIP or video. Per-flow balancing (much preferred) will use 200 Gbps in aggregate, but you will need multiple flows to achieve that. – Ron Maupin Apr 28 '20 at 23:40
  • Is this true for Mellanox MCX516A-CCAT ConnectX-5 EN? – Ivan Kamynin Apr 29 '20 at 00:26
