I wonder how their flow control scheme of static partitioning of the
receive queue scales to more modern hardware?

Oh, and I'm thrilled that they show the N_1/2 packet size! (the size
where bandwidth reaches 1/2 of the peak.) That's a number PathScale
published, but it never became popular with other folks doing
performance testing.
