My sis630 (incl. the sis900) bases Celeron-633 laptop is much faster (using a 2.4.16 kernel here):
portable:~ # ./netio 192.168.1.1
NETIO - Network Throughput Benchmark, Version 1.13 (C) 1997-2001 Kai Uwe Rommel
TCP/IP connection established. Packet size 1 k bytes: 10259 k bytes/sec Packet size 2 k bytes: 10146 k bytes/sec Packet size 4 k bytes: 10288 k bytes/sec Packet size 8 k bytes: 10317 k bytes/sec Packet size 16 k bytes: 10248 k bytes/sec Packet size 32 k bytes: 10173 k bytes/sec
This the sis900 one as a client over a hub and a switch to a 3c59x - and the other way round:
server1:~ # ./netio 192.168.1.5
NETIO - Network Throughput Benchmark, Version 1.13 (C) 1997-2001 Kai Uwe Rommel
