TCP is mostly a implemenation/parameter setting problem for resonable
speeds, for high_speed, you can not drop packets.
Have a look at proj.sunet.se/LSR2.
2 $1500 mail_order PC's, 40 router hops, almost around half of
the earth.

It's worth mentioning that this proj.sunet.se/LSR2 test was done using the previous generation of Intel 10Gb PCI-X NICs, the new ones were announced last week:
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro10GbE_SR_server_adapter.htm
It uses the same controller ASIC, but is half the length and has XPAK optics.
Interesting stuff regarding the 82597EX 10Gb NIC controller chip and Linux:
