Hi Gordon,

Thanks for the info.

Its a home project and I only have one 10G adapter and no 10G switch
(I got a SMC 10G adapter from ebay for $250).

The PC is an whitebox 6-core processor (AMD 1055T) with Ubuntu server
on there (I was considering using OpenSolaris Zones), 10G card is
detected.

The firewall I want to test only supports 10Gbps maximum.

I just want to figure out if it will work with LXC.

Kind Regards
Richard
