Not that I know of, but I do not do an extensive amount of work in this area
either.
My setup contains an ACESwitch, Two AceNIC cards, two Intel Giga cards, and
four Cisco Catalyst 1850 switches. The clients connect to the Catalyst
switches via 10/100 ports, these switches uplink to the ACESwitch through
Gigabit connections. Then four servers connect to the remaining four
Gigabit ports on the ACESwitch, two of which operate Jumbo Frames (through
the AceNICs).
This works extremely well for me, with outstanding performance and massive
flexibility. But, this is also a closed, laboratory environment with no
practical basis in the real world. Your milage may vary.
