The limiting factor will be the _delay_ time for getting a packet from one end of the network to the other end.

Re: Off-topic - tcpload
I have need for something to show me the load on an interface and so far I have not been able to find anything. tcpview looks promising but there is no binary. Any ideas? I'm interested in both eth0 and ppp0 interfaces. Check out http://www.chariot.com/linapps.html there might be help there And another question - how many hosts can one have on a single thin ethernet cable?

Re: Off-topic - tcpload
Hello, Many thanks for those hints. Ask and it shall be given! I used ethload in my Novell days but had not noted the netdiag and procmeter tools. This really is a wonderful list when free of political junk mail. So thank you Joost, Hamish, Lawrence, Joey, Jim and Rob. Wish me luck while I tackle a remarkably slow network.

Is netdiag the package you are looking for?
/usr/sbin/statnet
/usr/sbin/trafshow
/usr/sbin/netwatch
/usr/bin/netload
And another question - how many hosts can one have on a single thin
ethernet cable?
Dunno. Wasn't there a maximum to the lenght of a BNC cable? (100 meters
or thereabouts)?

And if you want to make a graph of load over time - the mrtg package can do that for you (using snmp and HTML). There was an article in Linux Journal about it.
