That, uh, doesn't sound right. None of your networking equipment can do auto-negotiation?

I think that he meant that the workload still required the 10Gb link, so the AMD servers ended up with two NICs and two sets of cables (a 10 Gb connection and a 1 Gb connection). This leads to higher resource requirements, as they need effectively double the # of switches.

I'm not familiar with the problem at all, that is just how I interpreted his statements.
