Hi Brandon, for packet capture, you can do it even with comodity HW, but you need to use PF_RING which bypass linux kernel. With PF_RING, you can capture with wireshark whole traffic on 10GE interface. Just google for PF_RING and compiling tshark with this option. You can use it with standard Intel NIC. I recommend to write data to ramdisk to preserve HDD write speed limitation. Once you get the packets, you should check packet loss, retransmissions, RTT and so on. For this, I highly recommend Laura Chappells Wireshark training.

All the best. Karol
