NIC suggestion

NB

Hello,

I need to buy a new NIC. What would you suggest?
The one I use is an old Mellanox 10 Gbs, before the Connect-4 series.
It can only do 1996 S/s, need 19960 (10x more) to work with latest uhd.
Using Ubuntu 24.04 and uhd 4.6.0

On a related question. it seems that the streamer doesn't crash anymore
when receiving less than MAXSPS samples, instead it reads 0:(
This was due to the sse2 code not aligned in convert.
I change my stream args to cpu_format=sc16, otw=sc16, so no conversion
required.
Streamer still doesn't read anything. Is there a reason for it?

TIA
Nikos
