What I'm interested in are some numbers for similar hardware, to find out if my hardware and/or ethernet driver can be improved, or if the CPU will always be the limiting factor. I'd also be interested to know if hardware checksumming support would improve throughput noticably in such a system, or if it is only useful for 1Gbit and above. Did anyone actually manage to get close to 100Mbit/sec with similar CPU resources?
I have a pico station, http://ubnt.com/products/picostation.php with Atheros MIPS 4KC @ 180MHz. Iperf on this device gives 46.0 Mbits/sec sending TCP from a PC to the device and 36.2 Mbits/sec sending TCP from the device to a PC. The NIC is part of the Atheros chipset so PCI is not involved.
