This is one more reason why I like hardware based converged networking so much, like CIsco UCS. You then create converged network interfaces which each of them support RSS (Receive Side Scaling). Of course not something for in your lab, but good to know.

Great walk through! Do you know if any progress been made to improve the ~3Gb/s speed limitation for Virtual Network Adapters on a 10Gb/s converged Virtual Switch? Thanks!
