Does anyone know of published performance data on TCP/IP for various
hardware?  That is, how many packets per second should a given CPU be
able to send, exclusive of the subnetwork protocol or the
communications medium?

I am particularly interested in data for the VAX 11/785, but will take
data for any CPU.

Please note that I am not interested in simply answering this
question, but in finding public, non-proprietary measurements that can
be publicly cited.

Thank you.
