Seems like it could do better than the ~40 mbit/s I can | get with a stock kernel config. I'm experimenting with transfers that | involve no with no disk I/O on a not-so-loaded system, equipped with a | Pentium 120 and 32 megs EDO... Sounds like something strange in your system. I was able to get 79 Mbps between two P133s, one running 2.1R, the other 2.2-960323-SNAP, both of them with the SMC Etherpower 10/100 card. This was done several months ago, and the results are in the Netperf database. I did *no* kernel tuning at all. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
