Not necessarily. The way a HUB behaves is much influenced by the type of traffic on the network. > I have a feeling that the issue is at the SMB (or whatever) protocol > layer, as I am seeing some period of time where the speed is fine (66% of > theoretical max, and IIRC 70% is max optimal rate).. If there were to be a problem at or above the SMB layer then why are we not seeing lots of other complaints in this area? I have transferred over 30GB of data over 100BaseT at av average of over 10MBytes/sec with no burstiness at all. I have transferred this same data over 1000BaseT at just under 70Mbytes/sec average rate. My hunch is that you have either a badly behaving NIC or HUB, or else you are seeing the effects of incompatibilities between them. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
