This was only a first functional test with "stock" drivers I apologize, I just reran my benchmark in the opposite direction and got much different numbers... Peak now is 780 Mbps. Details: Dual 850 Mhz PentiumIII pushing one-way data to dual Alpha dp264 /proc/sys/net/core/*mem* = 1048576 9000 byte MTU Alteon AceNIC with 1 meg RAM Linux 2.2.16 (no driver tuning) NetPIPE 2.4 for benchmark application These cards really do require at least two CPU's for decent bandwidth. I'm amazed you got 400 Mbps out of single processors! -VAL
