What kind of throughput are people getting out of high-end ethernet cards
and FreeBSD? I was doing ftp's between two Sparc LX boxes on a subnet by
themselves and was seeing about 4Mb transfer rates. Does PC hardware exist
that could reach these speeds? I seem to remember some quotes of 900Kb
with 32 bit cards, which makes me skeptical. I only get 400Kb through my
16bit WD8003 cards (486DX2/66 FreeBSD1.1.5.1 to 386DX/40 FreeBSD 1.1.5.1).
If you have reached 4Mb, please email me your motherboard type and ethernet
card!
