Subject: RE: [FW1] Nokia vs. NT
After looking at the Nokia site and specifications,
it does not look like Nokia supports Gig cards(unless the information on
the site is not up to date) so that would be an accurate comparison. If
one company does not support Gig cards and the other does, that is their
choice and they be faulted for it. These are then honest results because
they compare technology that each company supports.
What was surprising in the comparison on the checkpoint
site is that the Linux and RS/6000 systems had 2 Gig cards in them and
the NT, Nokia and Solaris system only had 4x10/100 cards. They should redo
the test with both the NT and Solaris systems with Gig cards for an accurate
comparison. I'll bet the Nokia system falls to the bottom of the list then.

I have seen these numbers. I was amazed until I noticed
that they were
running 10/100 on Nokia and Gig cards on the NT system.
I also had someone telling me that Lynx on an Intel chipset
kicked but on a
Sun Solaris. They showed me the statistics. The Lynx
box was using Gig cards
and the Sun Solaris had a quad 10/100.
These are not honest results unless they are using the
same equipment. Gig
cards are always going to kick the heck out of 10/100
cards
