This implies that the transfer rate is influenced by the direction of transfer between an LPAR running on an IFL and an LPAR running on a sub- capacity CP. It would be interesting to know the magnitude of the rate difference for various sub-capacity settings. It may (or may not) be too small to be of any serious concern. Brian Nielsen
