    Speed Time for one overflow

    10Gbits/s => 3.436 seconds
    1Gbit/s => 34.36 seconds
    100Mbits/s => 343.6 seconds

    For anything up to (and including) 1GBit/s it is possible to do in easily in
    userspace, but then were are getting into an area where a program would have
    to check the files every 3 seconds (and a bit of load could delay it long
    enough for an overflow to happen.)
