Subject: RE: [FW1] Nokia vs. NT
After looking at the Nokia site and specifications, it does
not look like Nokia supports Gig cards(unless the information on the site is
not up to date) so that would be an accurate comparison. If one company does
not support Gig cards and the other does, that is their choice and they be
faulted for it. These are then honest results because they compare technology
that each company supports.
What was surprising in the comparison on the checkpoint site
is that the Linux and RS/6000 systems had 2 Gig cards in them and the NT,
Nokia and Solaris system only had 4x10/100 cards. They should redo the test
with both the NT and Solaris systems with Gig cards for an accurate
comparison. I'll bet the Nokia system falls to the bottom of the list then.

I have seen these numbers. I was amazed until I noticed that
they were
running 10/100 on Nokia and Gig cards on the
NT system.
I also had someone telling me that Lynx on an Intel chipset
kicked but on a
Sun Solaris. They showed me the
statistics. The Lynx box was using Gig cards
and the
Sun Solaris had a quad 10/100.
These are not honest results unless they are using the same
equipment. Gig
cards are always going to kick the heck
out of 10/100 cards
