Its only a misconception if you think its the only way to do things, which 
in itself is a misconception. I'm not at liberty to discuss specifics so i can't defend myself properly. 

I will say that designing a 10gb/s "system" that doesnt work well with a large number of flows kind of misses the target, don't you think? The people who need 10gb/s are isps, universities and telcos; all of whom have a large number of flows. So I'm not sure exactly who is going to benefit from the work.
