We use iperf running off of a bootable Linux CD with a 2.4 Kernel and can push 960 to 980 Mbps with no drops or errors on any pair of PCs with Gig interfaces we have tried so far. We usually 10 TCP streams, or tune the TCP stack and use a single stream. We also capture the traffic on both sides, run a standard analysis, and plot the send and receive per-second utilization and the re-transmit rate from the send side. Jon
