I am looking for test data and corresponding configuration info on
the performance of DECNET's Ethernet implementation.  My nominal target
design is 5-10 microVaxes Ethernet'ed together.  The current folklore has
it (around here) that total throughput between two processors (unknown configurations) is 1-2 Mbps including protocol overhead.  

If anyone has such data or references I would be very pleased to hear from
you and will pass
