I'm looking for netperf measurements on Pentium hardware and 100 Mbps
Ethernet, because it should be possible to do some direct comparisons
of different stacks (e.g. FreeBSD TCP/IP, Linux TCP/IP, QNX TCP/IP),
but I can't find anything in the database. I've heard of figures
floating around (60 Mbps for FreeBSD - we've measured this anyway);
it would be nice to get some solid results.

We have a STREAMS TCP/IP stack on QNX, and the native QNX stack is BSD
based, and that would make a very interesting comparison...
