Is that MBps (megabytes per second) or Mbps (megabits per second)?

Not necessarily. If you don't have a bottleneck elsewhere (meaning that your CPU, disks, and other parts of your system can deliver that kind of performance), and if you have enough distinct flows to hash out over the available interfaces, then, yes, it'll scale in that way. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
