Subject: how fast is Mac over ethernet?

Has anyone clocked MacTCP?
How long does it take to send 10Mbytes
 * memory to memory
 * disk to disk
 * on various Mac models?
 * with various Ethernet cards

Similarly, how fast is AFS at serving
a large file across ethernet?

If anyone has any of these numbers,
would they please share them with us?

State of the art in 1990 (the famous Van Jacobson
TCP/IP implementation that will be in 4.4bsd) is
full ethernet speed from one 4.4bsd VAX 750 to another.
