I'd like to take a look - you can send it to me off list.
There was some hype a while back about Linux implementing a
"multi-threaded TCP stack" (after losing a benchmark run - sponsored by
Microsoft - to NT.) I don't know how much that was Noise and how much
was Signal though.

So both servers are running thttpd and Traffique2000 simultaneously?
It might be nice to compare ttcp runs on the same setup, so we would see
if you're hitting an abnormal situation specific to T2k, or getting
representative test case results.
Also, Jonathan Stone asked about tcpdumps - you can put a port on your
Cisco29xx into span mode to get those.
