I'm assuming those are kilo-bytes ont kilo-bits... I don't think that's that surprising. I'm seeing 6500kB-8500kB between two PII 400Mhz SCSI systems on 100baseT full duples through a Bay Networks switch. (on an 8.4MB gzipped file) If there's any other traffic to or from either machine, this will drop. In more real world situation, I'm connected to a local Debian mirror over 100Mb with 1000Mb backbone and usually see 1200kB or so transfers :Someone will surely correct me if I'm wrong, but I think "full :duplex" basically means the network card will receive and :transmit at the same time. "Half-duplex" means it receives :data, then sends back confirmation, receives some more, sends :back, etc, etc. This could apply to either 10 base-t or 100 :base-t speeds. You *may* be running at 10Mb/s full duplex. :Those speeds suggest the same... More or less right, for unidirectional traffic full-duplex is only marginally better than half-duplex. -Jon
