questions on the list. Why not just setup a test network and run iperf against it?

After doing my own tests, I found that the Ultra 5 was too slow to perform near wire-speed throughput.

TEST 1 - Sun Ultra 5 360MHz
dc0 and dc1 are Phobos 430TX quad nic, PCI card
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec  42.1 MBytes  35.3 Mbits/sec


TEST 2 - Supermicro, Intel P4 3GHz
em0 and em1 Intel PRO/1000CT (82547EI), onboard nics
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec  96.1 MBytes  80.7 Mbits/sec
