From the experiment 1. 
we do know that the onborad 3 Com NIC card  is a little bit faster than PCI DECnet tulip card

But why the LAN speed dramatically slow down. only about 1/50 of original speed.
Is it because the LAN speed is slow tonight? Now it's 00:00am Oct 5th, 2001


To test the LAN speed. Switch to original connection and test again.

NOTE: after you reboot, be sure the the static route on both madrid and prague are set up well. Otherwise, it won't work.

From the experiment 3,  we see that the LAN speed is still that fast. But why it was so slow when we use tulip card on it??????
