BTW, I have to discard my original 1 Gbps project after I spent $300 on prototyping. It's pretty clear at this point that the ASIC cannot meet my technical requirements. And it escalates quickly, now I find myself needing to design a 10 Gbps SFP+ circuit board if I wish to continue. 10 Gbps I have no idea what I'm doing. It would be a miracle if I can get a working board. #electronics
