The basics... Good hardware.. If you have good hardware there is nothing much you need to tune. How many users? anyone had the chance to do a MIPS vs INTEL GB lan card?
---- More pertinent, today would be a 10GB comparison. My systems regularly pegged a 1GB Intel card in sys-sys file copies (125MB/s writes, 119MB/s reads)... Best speeds I've gotten off of 2x10GB-has been in the 700MB range, though typical is more likely in the 200-400MB range. HW/SW -- through file server to null files tops out due to HW on both ends (both Xeon Nehalams, one 12core@2.6 other 6core at 3.4). (Intel cards between them direct connect.
