Yes. But that's combining both directions. If we think like that a cop could pull you over for doing 130 in a 60 MPH zone. :) IMHO, throughput is measured by copying from machine A to machine B. It cannot exceed 100 Mb doing that function. In practice, if you get close to 80 Mb, you are doing very good. Blue skies...
