We haven't done much testing yet. It seems to handle all right a ping
flood ('ping -f hostname') without loosing any packet.
Some years ago TCP/IP over 10 Mbits ethernet ran in processors 100 times
slower than what we have today, so I believe it will do all right at
that speed. But I doubt it will be able to handle 100 Mbits ethernet,
not to mention 1 GB.

I'd be happy to try! And here Richie says he'd like to give it a try too :)
BTW, I just got my first ARM! Paul McDonough generously lend me an iPAQ
to play with. Two years ago I put linux and Squeak on that nifty thing,
but porting SqueakNOS to it is a whole different deal. I'll start
playing with it soon.
