This is kind of lousy actually to use that much memory and other resources for 10M nearly completely idle connections.
If the kernel is bypassed, I have reason to believe Go can handle the line rate of 16.7M packets/sec(on 10gbps nic.) I would love to integrate Intel's DPDK with Go. I've done some ground work on this before - it's very feasible to just replace the Go network stack in a transparent way. If any company is interested in sponsoring that as an open-source project, my contact info is in my profile.
