Let me fix my typo here..... I get 60+Mbits out of 100Mbits on a 10/100 network. The Max SUSTAINED thru-put you will ever see will be around 70Mbits. There is an overhead that means that you will only see .7 of the theoretical. -Sean On Jul 26, 2005, at 4:13 PM, Andrew P. wrote: > Erm, well 60+Mbytes is no wonder in a Gigabit environment (and it is > too much of a wonder in a FastEthernet one), but I'm interested in > getting 100Mbit hardware to work at full speed. > > Thanks for your 2 cents anyway, > Andrew P. > > On 7/27/05, Sean Hafeez <sean.hafeez@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I get 60+Mbytes between my FreeBSD 5.4 and Mac via NFS.
