Researchers have set a new record for the rate of data transfer using a single laser: 26 terabits per second.

Say the bandwidth going into my computer is unlimited. In reality, there still is a lot of processing overhead to read the data from the network card. What would be the maximum capacity (ie how much can the computer actually process per second) of that? Obviously it depends on the machine; let's assume a modern workstation?
