error correction and protocol overhead. You will *never* get 100mbit of through put on a 100mbit network. The speed quoted is the wire speed as opposed to the data transfer speed.
Gigabit gets round this to some degree by using jumbo frames. Basically this means that your data to overhead ratio is better as each frame being sent contains more data. -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24454 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
