:We attacked Rich's switch in the lab. We plugged ports 1-4 into 4 10/100
:ports on a SmartBits 2000 test chassis and banged it with full-duplex bi-
:directional streams between ports 1<->2 and 3<->4. I am happy to report
:that it passed 100% of traffic at all packet sizes except 64 bytes, where
:it was still able to pass 99.415% of wire speed, or 591,716 packets per

:perform adequately for my 3-system NFS nightmare I'm building at home. ;^)

That is simply amazing. You know, even just two years ago this kind of
performance would have cost a considerable amount of money.
I'm really happy with my apartment LAN. Both the D-Link and the LinkSys
5-port 100BaseT switches operate wonderfully for me (now that Bill Paul
and I finally tracked down the D-Link ethernet card bugs!).
I think the next thing I'm going to do with NFS is figure out why I can't
get wire speed in both directions simultaniously over full-duplex
100BaseTX links. I mean, gee, it's *only* 20 MBytes/sec!

BTW, Kudos to the KAME folk, the ipv6 and ipsec stuff looks like it's
going to turn into a winner! IPSEC is going to be one really good reason
for needing ever-faster cpu's :-).
