[Discuss-gnuradio] Gig-E alternatives

[David P. Reed]

Though GigE sounds like a good idea to pursue, has anyone thought about 
using 2 or more USB 2 interfaces as an alternative?   I don't know what 
the typical controller interfaces can handle, but I see three on my 
AMD64-based laptop, plus a firewire interface - that's potentially about 
1.6 Gb/sec combined, but I only have a 100 Mb/s Ethernet interface.

The other thought is that if you are considering putting the peripheral 
remotely close to an outdoor antenna, perhaps an optical fiber solution 
would be better - why risk frying your CPU or your body?
