No problem. I have wondered about things like that myself. Questions like how do I test the speed of a links so that I know is limit. What components exists in either computer or within the network that might also restrict data flow? The whole area of networking is data flow. Like water running through a pipe. Some are bigger than others. Some have more valves in the way. Its an end to end path that needs to be taken into account.
