-Because the USRP2 uses gigabit ethernet pause frames for flow control,

-As described above, you will need one ethernet interface per USRP2.
-Each ethernet interface should have its own subnet,
+For maximum throughput, one ethernet interface per USRP2 is recommended,

+In any case, each ethernet interface should have its own subnet,
and the corresponding USRP2 device should be assigned an address in that subnet.
