The maximum possible bit-rate for a 1GiGe connection is 1Gbit/sec.
The absolute most you can push over such a connection with the N200 is
25Msample/second--with 16-bit I and Q.
If you move to 8-bit samples, using "otw_format=sc8" in your device
arguments, you can move up to 50Msps over
that same connection.
This is basically just the maximum delivered rate of a 1Gbit
connection. So, one channel at 25Msps or two channels at 12.5Msps,
or if you're using sc8 "wire" format, 50Msps for one channel and
25Msps for two channels.
