Se nao me engano, o maximo teorico seria:
100Mbps - "tempos mortos"
Fazendo um cut&paste descarado de um post recente na comp.dcom.lans.ethernet (note que os "timings" de giga/fast/ethernet sao iguais em "bit times", e como nao estamos levando em conta em giga-half-duplex o "quebra-galho" chamado carrier extension, da para usar o mesmo "conceito).

You may expect well over 900Mbps in each direction on a Gigabit Ethernet
link. That is, of course, assuming that you have the traffic to fill it.

Ethernet in full duplex mode can be as saturated as a serial line between
two points. Depending on frame size Upper-layer protocols will limit the
amount of traffic that can pass in any one conversation as the protocols
wait for acknowledgements. The one caveat is that there is a 160 bit-time
gap between packets for historical reasons (96 bit interframe gap, 64 bit
preamble). So, for a 1524 byte frame, Ethernet is only 98.7% efficient.
For 64 byte frames, Ethernet is only 76% efficient. Average traffic is
256 bytes, which is 92.7% efficient.


Ethernet in Half duplex can be saturated to the same amount, However, the
contention mechanism deployed to determine what happens when two devices
attempt to communicate at the same time (collisions) will offset the
efficiency to some extent. A single collision on a 1524 byte frame will
knock your efficiency down to 97.4%, while on a 64 byte frame it will be
61%.


So, on shared 10 megabit ethernet with only 64 bytes frames, and a 100%
collision rate, you should end up with 6.1 Mbps. With 1500 byte frames
and 100% collision rate, you should end up with 9.74Mbps. Not too shabby
that...

    Pessoal,

    Alguem saberia me dizer qual a capacidade de transmissao de uma rede Fast Ethernet. E se utilizo Full duplex como ficaria esta capacidade real ?
