39 There's an easy way to test the speed limits of the network Vs the limits of
40 the storage media. Use netcat/telnet to send a large file across from tmpfs
41 on host A to a tmpfs on host B. As long as tmpfs is large enough to not start
42 using swap, the speed will reflect what the network can achieve.
