    Hi Guys,

    I'm wondering what's the maximum sustained transfer rate
    that one can experience when using a 100Mbps link?

    Is there any way that I can determine what's the bottleneck?
    FYI, I'm using iftop.

    Transferring files between 2 PCs, (laptop and Desktop)
    I see like up to 20MB/s.

    Could this # be limited due to my slow HD? 4200rpm which
    hdparm -t (or is it -T) gives ~26MB/s

    1mbps = 1024/8 bits = 1 MB/s (I know there's a conversion
    but I'm forgetful)

    Cheers,
    Mun Heng, Ow
