Yes. I just went home, so I am emailing from my house. I'll post late tonight or in the morning. Performance on 100Mbit with NFS going Linux->Linux is getting better throughput than IPX NetWare Client -> NetWare 5.x on the same network by @ 3%. When you start loading up a Linux server, it drops off sharply and NetWare keeps scaling, however, this does indicate that the LAN code paths are equivalent relative to latency vs. MSM/TSM/HSM in NetWare. NetWare does better caching (but we'll fix this in Linux next). I think the ring transitions to user space daemons are what are causing the scaling problems Linux vs. NetWare.
