This is interesting to say the least. It's important to remember that node-node measurements of ethernet throughput are almost always half-duplex and do not take into consideration collisions which is critical to determining "real" throughput. This is obviously true for all CSMA/CD networks. -- Chris Boylan {mgnetp | ihnp4 | uwvax}!dicomed!boylan
