After doing my own tests, I found that the Ultra 5 was too slow to perform near wire-speed throughput.
TEST 1 - Sun Ultra 5 360MHz dc0 and dc1 are Phobos 430TX quad nic, PCI card [ 4] 0.0-10.0 sec 42.1 MBytes 35.3 Mbits/sec TEST 2 - Supermicro, Intel P4 3GHz em0 and em1 Intel PRO/1000CT (82547EI), onboard nics [ 4] 0.0-10.0 sec 96.1 MBytes 80.7 Mbits/sec
