For some analysis I plotted the inter-frame delay in microseconds within the transmitter must send a frame to archive the desired transmission rate. For a 10Gbit network adapter and a 10 byte frame the time between subsequent transmission must be 0.008 microseconds (or 8 nanoseconds or 8e^-09^ seconds) The illustration with a logarithmic y scale:

Not really thrilling or exciting, I generated the images to illustrate the difficulties to generate a bandwidth exact bytestream where the operating system as well as hardware components are working at the edge.
