Mixing Gigabit, Copper, and Linux

Posted by timothy on from the way-faster-than-my-56K-dialup dept.

We sought out to test exactly what you could expect from copper-based gigabit solutoins for the desktop interface through the cluster-targeted products. Name brands and off-brands were put through the wringer. How'd they fare? Interesting results to say the least."

    I've tested some of these same cards, in particular, the Intel and SysKonnect cards, at
    900+ Mbits/sec with 1500 MTU, but this is on
    FreeBSD. :-)
