My point was that if I want a throughput higher than 1000Mbps, I think that I have to transfer data to device using Ethernet interface and store it somewhere before sending it out. Because without storing data on board, how can I have like 10Gbps with input data rate to board is no greater than 1000Mbps?

Now you understand the problem with this kit. The Signal Integrity kit is useful for looking at Signal Integrity, and that is about all. Because it does not have 10Gbps connectors, it is not the appropriate kit to try and develop 10Gbps applications.
However, now that you have purchased the kit, you have to figure out what tests you can perform.
If the board has two transmitters and two receivers on the SMA connectors, then you could use two SMA-to-SPF+ adapters. You could then connect two SFP+ cables to a desktop 10Gbps SFP+ card or to two ports on a 10Gbps switch. That way you can have 10Gbps continuous through the link.
The alternative is to use the 1Gbps interface to fill a buffer in the FPGA, or several buffers, and then send the data over 10Gbps. To maximize bandwidth, you could just send the same data 10x.
