Flow control is a problem when you have mixed media speeds sharing a server. and without a gbit switch port for the server, flow control is not likely to be an issue, and each subnet will cruise along at up to (!)100 mbps. So it's kind of like being stuck with flow control, except in this case it's the switch that is throttling the server to 100, not the client. Add a 10 mbit client to the network (do 10mbit NICs even support flow control? I wouldn't know), or, I don't know, maybe an oulier of a really slow 100mbit client NIC, and flow control could be an issue. db ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
