I'd like to share notes if you have any experience in testing bandwidth throughput yourselves. Here is our findings: Machine 1: Pentium 133Mhz, 64M Ram, 2 PCI SMC network cards, ethernet 10 Mhz no other daemons running top speed routing IP packets throuh machine approx 1.6 Meg/S Machine 2: Pentium PRo 200Mhz, 64Meg RAM 2 PCI SMC network cards, ethernet 10Mhz no other daemons running top speed routing IP packets through machine approx 3.6 Meg/S
