[techtalk] network speeds...

Can anyone tell me a network speed benchmark
site or utility? I'm curious what would be considered
'normal' transfer rates on a 100 BT network.

I'm using analogx's Netstat utility on my
win98 box. When transferring from my rhl server
I'm getting 6.3 MB per sec, when transferring
to the server I get 2.5MB. Is this fast? Slow? etc...
And why the massive difference in speed?

Also, what does the load average under uptime signify?

Thanks!
Walt
