There is an effort to develop benchmarks, not only for
NICs, but also for other aspects of a LAN.  The group is called
Performance Testing Alliance, and has members from manufacturers,
as well as the trade press.  Initial meetings were held at the
last Interop in San Jose, and Networld in Boston.  The first
results from this cooperative effort are supposed to appear by
Networld in October.  For more information, contact Susan 
Spiner at Set Marketing On in New York City, 212/989-3131.
