Hello, I've got 2 Itanium Systems running (B.11.23 U ia64). Both systems
have the 1000Base-SX cards installed. The settings for both are as follows:

Speed = 1000
Duplex Mode = Full
Autoneg = On
MTU = 9000bytes
Flow Control = On
Send Max Buffers = 10
Receive Max Buffers = 1
Send Coal Ticks = 150
Receive Coal Ticks = 0

Now, the broadcast for both is 89.255.255.255 and subnet 255.0.0.0 IP
89.0.0.1(2) respectively.

The two machines are connected back to back via fiber crossover. The
throughput for large files is horrible. Like 10BaseT or worse. For small
files <1GB , its fast. Which may be due to disk caching???? We need the
large file throughput to be maxed out. The drives are 160MB per sec SCSI so
I know we are not even close to that yet.

I wonder if my IP settings are too loose?

I'm at a loss now, Thanks in advance for your help.
