We've measured both latency and throughput between
to for a number of different paths.
Measurements were made on a two and four
CPU SGI Power Series processor.
The CPU's are 25 MHZ MIPS 3000's.
The latency is measured as the round trip time
for a byte sent from one process to another and
back again.
Throughput is measured using 16k writes froom
one process to another.
