To determine the maximum theoretical IO throughput that a client node can achieve with a 25 Gbps Network Interface Card (NIC) connected to 10 Block Volumes, we first need to convert the network speed from gigabits per second to megabytes per second.

  1. Network speed conversion:
  • 25 Gbps can be converted to megabytes per second by using the following conversion:

  • 1 byte = 8 bits, therefore:

[

25 \text{ Gbps} = \frac{25 \times 10^9 \text{ bits/sec}}{8 \text{ bits/byte}} = 3.125 \times 10^9 \text{ bytes/sec} = 3125 \text{ MB/s}

]

  1. Considering the 10 Block Volumes:
  • If the throughput of the NIC is 3125 MB/s, and we have 10 Block Volumes, theoretically, the bandwidth could be distributed across these volumes. However, it doesn't mean that we simply multiply the NIC throughput by the number of volumes, as the maximum throughput cannot exceed the capabilities of the NIC.
  1. Thus, the maximum theoretical throughput with the given constraints of the
