On average, I contact a system administrator about poor TSM
throughput every couple of months. The problem usually turns out
to be duplex mismatch. The system administrators involved
consistently report that they found network cards set for
autonegotiation, and fixed the problems by hard coding the
cards for 100 megabit per second full duplex. The last such
incident happened less than three months ago. Similar incidents
over the last few years have involved at least half a dozen
different system administrators. I find it very hard to believethat all of
them were lying to me.
