Chris;
I've seen sustained 14MB/s across a point-to-point connection using Alteon GbEs in this configuration:
client: Dell 4200/300 (2xPII@300MHz, 512MB) kernel: 2.2.5-15 (RedHat 6.0) driver: acenic.c mount: rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,bg,hard,intr,udp,nfsvers=3 filer: 760, OnTap 5.3
What were you running?
rgds, tim.
Count yourself lucky, I was trying to size up a large network of linux boxes all talking to a couple of netapps but gave up when I discovered how pants the linux network client it. I even offered cash for one of the kernel hackers to work on the client rather than the server and still had no offers. For our workload we can't even get 1mb/s with a linux box...
