[nzlug] Network speed - Final results

[Andrew Farago]

Hello all,
After so many fiddling around the settings I could achieve ~700-Mbps  
with cross over cable. I had the same speed over a well configured  
switch. The firewall could produce ~400-Mbps speed. This results are  
possible only in lab environment I think. In the real life You must  
be very happy with 200-300Mbps but your Internet connection will cut  
back it much more.
Currently I can not see too much meaning to build a gigabit LAN.
