Some real data, these are test results for throughput (max zero loss rate)
for the Novell multiprotocol router running on a 486 box.  these results
are for ethernet to ethernet through a T1 line, the limiting factor is the
T1.  There are more sults on hsdndev.harvard.edu in pub/ndtl.

Small packets run at about a half T1, large packets at about 75%.  The
limit is not in the PC it is in the serial line interface. (the same PC
can run at more than 50Mb/sec fddi to fddi.)
