Overview
This article covers maximum LAN Ethernet rates values that can be achieved for both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet using the TCP/IP or the UDP network protocols. The steps on how to generate, capture and monitor maximum Ethernet rates will be shown using various tools bundled with the Network Security Toolkit (NST). Finally, a demonstration on how Linux segmentation off-loading for supported NIC adapters can produce Super Ethernet Frames that are captured and reported by the network protocol analyzer will be presented.
