The results are identical to within a few percent except for this last
value.  This is, I presume, being broken into to IP fragments?  If so,
the more sophisticated IP fragmentation logic in 2.6.16 necessitated by
GigE might be responsible for 2.6.16's underperformance at this data
point.  Also, if so, you should investigate data points with higher
degrees of fragmentation.

Results are easier to analyze if they are given in number of frames
transferred rather than bits per second.
