I just did some quick and dirty checks with netperf and noticed a
somewhat surprising result.

Machine A: Alpha PC164, FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT, re(4), 1000Base-T
Machine B: Alpha PC164SX, OpenBSD 3.5, de(4), 100Base-TX
Switch:    StarChip SGS-1008 (10/100/1000Base-T)

Running netperf -t UDP_STREAM on machine A with target B reports a
throughput of ~200(!) Mbit/s.

How does the machine get the idea it is pushing 200 Mbit/s down a
100 Mbit/s link?
