Hi,

It depends where you measure it.  If you measure a send to a receive the you only get 
100Mb but if you measure both circuits the you can see 200Mb.  100Mb (A ----> B)  + 
100Mb (B ----> A)  they are different circuits physically they come together at the 
interface (NIC or whatever) then into the box.

My two bobs worth,
