thanks for the info. the timings i was getting were from SCP file copies via SSH. If i use the samba share from the linux host in OS X Finder, I do see transfers edging towards 10MBps. So this does seem to get nearer to maximum throughputs on a network at 100MBps speeds. However, if I try to do any ...
