Unfortunately, you'd be hard pressed to even stress the router CPU with a
single FTP going from a 10/100 NIC....... Even 100Mbps won't push it....
With that "low" throughput, you really wouldn't see a difference in
speed....... Question: Are the 2 machines that the file is being
transferred between on difference subnets? This would need to be true to
test the router-vs-multilayer switch speeds anyway......
