I have been testing the throughput of the 100Mbit ethernet in my Linux box through transfering files from my Windows machine using Samba.

I get about maximum transfer rate of 1MBytes/sec of data transfer rate. Is this good for 100BT ethernet? What is everyone getting?

Thanks

Dont know if you your still interested but i think this is very depended on the network card you are using.

I had a realtek card on my server that would give me max throughput of about 600K per second
I replaced it with a 3com 3c905b and now i get 7MBytes per second.

And also note, that samba has quite a big overhead. Try benchmarking with protocols such as ftp or http.
