Does anyone have approximate figures for a reasonable maximum data
transfer rate on Ethernet wich a Sparcstation (1+,370,470) could support,
without overloading the cpu (say < 10% load), and using standard protocols
(TCP/IP)?

Is there any processor board (either VME or S-Bus) which could process the
TCP/IP protocol instead of the CPU board?
