While the info above is absolutely correct in the lab (or per the specification), in the real world, you can expect somewhat less that these figures depending upon many factors, mainly aggregate network traffic, i.e.: if you have a 100Mbps pipe to 100 workstations at 10 per cent utilization on a 1000Mbps backbone (server connection), you may find that specific workstation performance may be affected by certain applications such as internet radio, webcasts or online video (You Tube BAAAAAD). While there is no “typical” figure, don’t be surprised if actual speeds are in the 70 - 80 Mbps range or lower for an average 100Mbps connection.
