The BBB is actually capable of GbE based on the processor, but only has 10/100 faster ethernet PHY on the board its self.
However, the onboard ethernet on the BBB is the fastest i have seen on *ANY* system to date yet. 11.9MB/s reads over NFS, and 11.1MB/s writes. It simply does not get any faster than that. Period.
