At SRI's AI Center, we have an Ethernet with over 20
Symbolics and Xerox Lisp machines, 2 VAXes running VMS/Eunice,
one Sun 2/170 file server, two 2/50's and other bits and pieces.
Our collision rate seems pretty low (less than 1 per 1000 packets),
and the Suns talk with no problem (or apparent slow down) to
the VAXes and Lisp machines. However, the 2/170 will sometimes choke
on heavy output from the diskless 2/50s, for example when a 4 Mb process
dumps core. We then get NFS not ready messages, but things recover
within less than a minute.
