[IMPORTANT]
=====================================
* Intel SFP+ 10Gb/Sec is the only one supported by default on the standard Linux driver. TRex also supports Cisco 10Gb/sec SFP+.
-* Using different NUMA for different NIC is very important when getting to high speeds, such as using several Intel XL710 40Gb/sec.
-* One can verify NUMA and NIC topology with following command: lstopo (yum install hwloc)
-* NUMAs-CPUs relation is determined with following command: lscpu
-* See real example of NUMA usage xref:numa-example[here]
-* Using Intel XL710 with Fedora 18 requires updating Kernel.
-* For Intel XL710 NICs there is a need to verify the FW is v4.42 or v4.53 see xref:xl710-firmware[here] for more info
