Cisco isn't exactly known for delivering hardware that can perform at
line speed. Throw an Extreme, Foundry, HP, or something decent in there
and drive it with a Netcom or Ixia box (instead of application traffic)
and you'll see a big difference. 100 Mbps full duplex can potentially
deliver 200 Mbps - 100 Mbps in either direction.
