Re: 1000mbps connection problem between Linux and Solaris

I recently wired my house for Cat6 and gigabit ethernet and learned
that this is a very tricky business. A lot of things can go wrong,
such as cables can have too sharp bends, not crimped properly, the
list goes on, and on, and on.

Also, NFS had performance problems when run over gigabit ethernet, not
giving me gigabit throughput. I just did a test. I can transfer files
with HTTP at the speed of 50 megaBYTES per second, but I can transfer
files via NFS at only 5 megabytes per second.
