In postings like this we would like to see what independent measurements,
outside of the suspect product, that were made on the questioned ethernet.
If you refer to the archives you will see numerous postings on ethernet
issues, and how Autonegotiation is a prime cause of low throughput.
So, if you haven't already, please conduct the network tests (FTP or other)
You may want to confer with your network people on this.
Feel free to refer to the NETWORK PERFORMANCE write-up near the
bottom of http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts for some advice.
