Description
It would be nice to test Haiku's network stack at higher speeds to help massage out any potential bugs, memory leaks, etc.
The OCE11102 10Gbit SFP+ card runs for a low cost *and* has a simple FreeBSD native driver.

DAC would be the easiest connection method to test connection speeds without needing any large 10Gbit switch investments.

Imported in hrev52387; completely untested and so not added to the image. You should be able to just compile and then test yourself.

Also why specificallly oce11102? Careful that you get one with the transceivers... Otherwise you'll be out another 40+ bucks for a pair.
There are other model numbers that are cheaper.. oce10102 for instance is under 20 bucks.
Fiber adapter support might be handy for people that want to run hard connections longer distances also... Or was the card you were looking at twinax sfp+ note not all sfp+ is optical.

The reason I went for the oce11102 is because of (the price) and the SFP+ ports. 10Gbit can happen over several different technologies (DAC, AOC, Cat6, various fiber wavelengths, etc) SFP+ transceivers let you quickly switch between cabling without replacing hardware.

I'd rather have a nice small collection of various SFP+ transceivers and DAC/AOC's than a box full of switches and NIC's with various fixed physical 10Gbit transmissions methods.
Ever have a core switch with 10 Gbit Cat6? That's a poor investment now since almost nobody supports it.

Assign tickets with status=closed and resolution=fixed within the R1/beta2 development window to the R1/beta2 Milestone
Another option might be to implement IP over Thunderbolt which I believe is supported on Mac OS not sure about elsewhere. That can theoretically go up to 40Gb/s beteen two TB3 devices. The hardware is probably even cheaper as well though potentially more complex driverwise.
