Gigabit Ethernet: Dude, Where's My Bandwidth?

[Toxin]

A very nice article explaining why we don't see the theoretical bandwidth speeds when it comes to Gigabit ehternets.

Read it here.

Thanks for interesting read there Tox now i know how to push my Ethernet speeds up ..... I wonder if I can find Ethernet Boosters and get software to push it up too

Thanks....

Great read.

Interesting:

For fun, we also tested some short-run cable scapegoats such as power cable interference, cable lengths, and Cat 5e vs. Cat 6. In our small home network, we found that none of these really had a significant impact on performance, although we must point out that in a larger and more complex network with longer cable lengths, these factors might become viable concerns.
