Jeff, The solution is simply a hardware upgrade for starters. A 32-bit/33 MHz bus will top out around 200 Mbps. If you look for a bus with higher speed slots, you can triple your throughput without adjusting ANYTHING in your Linux kernel. Well thats where I disagree. And where I am looking

1GB Fiber is typically using Packet over SONET. I have typically seen over 500 mbps on these links, even from Telcove/L3. But the distance is usually a factor. Running from NoLa to ATL on a long-haul, single hop 1GB fiber run introduces lots of regen issues, so 500 mbps would be a blessing. Mo

Tom, How are the "big boys" doing it? Surely AT&T and others are transporting more than 200Mbps across their 1GB fiber links. Travis Microserv Tom DeReggi wrote: Gigabit Ethernet, can pass 1 gbps when it uses greater than a 9600 MTU frame. But with a 1500MTU frame, it can barely pass 200 mb

Gigabit Ethernet, can pass 1 gbps when it uses greater than a 9600 MTU frame. But with a 1500MTU frame, it can barely pass 200 mbps. The problem is that most Internet and subscriber traffic is using a 1500MTU or smaller frame. So in theory, its would be just as efficient and fast to bond two 100
