Question I am hoping someone can help me with.

The minimum delay between Ethernet frames is 9.6 microseconds.  What is the maximum number of Ethernet frames that can be transmitted per second?

Can anyone help?

Not a clue, but wouldn't it be calculatable?

Standard ethernet is 10MBit (ie, 1MB/s), and fast ethernet is 100MBit (ie, 10MB/s).

So... how big is an ethernet 'frame'?  MTU is typically 1500 bytes, if I recall, but I have no idea what a frame is, exactly.  I haven't done any low level networking code (some UDP stuff in Linux is as close as I've gotten...) so I can't really help.

In any event, anything calculated, of course, will be theoretical, and I doubt would ever actually be seen

Cheers,
Jeff
