[Iometer-user] throughput results on 100Mb

[Will <wil...@gm...>]

Hi. I am a new IOmeter user and I have come across some interesting
results. I used IOmeter to test an iSCSI drive on a Network Appliance
F87 from a single Ethernet client. This was done over a 100Mb link.
The throughput results peaked at 11.5MB/s, which from my understanding
is more than is possible/likely for the line speed. Is this expected
behavior? Is data other than network traffic is included in this
measurement? Thanks in advance for any insights.
