Hi,
any news about v7 supporting 100G port modules by mellanox connectX5 with chipset MT27800?
I see on the speed interface configuration we can only choose 40gbps; any update on supporting also 100G cards?

I saw offers of such 100G cards, even dual-port for about $390. The card uses PCIe 3.0 x8:

I just wonder how it’s possible to get 100G (even 2x 100G) over PCIe3.0 x8, IMO technically impossible, isn’t it? 
PCIe3.0 has per lane about 985 MB/s = 7880 Mbps = 7.88 Gbps. So, then 8 lanes can achieve max. about 63 Gbps. ???
we don’t need to reach 200GBPS but have more then 40G on one port, and this fits our design.

It doesn’t make sense even to support，routeros has weak TCP performance，
DPDK is the future and TNSR is the soluation.Mikrotik did not work hard on x86.Maybe they want to shell more CCR routers.
