Windows 2008 R2 Network Traffic with Qlogic 10Gbe Gen2 Cards (Nic Teaming Enabled)
Does anyone know of a buffer catch or limitation of using 2x10Gbe for a total of 20Gbe Qlogic Gen2 Cards with nic Teaming. If the Nic Cards are transfering 2Tb to 10tb of Multimedia data traffic everyday is there any buffer catch or
limitation that needs to be flushed? I didn't think there should be any but wanted to try to confirm with Microsoft Experts.
I didn't think there was any problem, limitation but with that amount of traffic I thought it was worth checking.
Thanks in advance for any feedback,

Hi Rob,
Thanks for posting here.
Based on my knowledge I’ve not aware of such mechanism need to be modified on Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 platform and will suggest to transfer the large files
by using the XCOPY utility and will suggest to first path the latest service pack and patches:
