questions on the list. Why not just setup a test network and

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
Unless you've got a DS-3 or better, why does it matter?
