why don't you think that?  i used 'ttcp', as i mentioned, to test raw
tcp transfer speeds.

wow, amazingly enough, netperf produced exactly the same results as ttcp.
why do you like netperf better?

>(nfs, ftp) aren't really valid, since those programs have some overhead

obviously.  i was giving my realworld performance statistics, because
frankly that's what drno's top speed report resembled, so i was giving
some points for possible comparison.  i am not a dolt...

so, did you just misread what i said the first time (tests with ttcp
giving around 94mbit/s), or can you tell me why netperf's results are
more valid than ttcp's?
