    Buffering between networks of disparate speeds

    Also overlooked what is probably an obvious consideration. That is, a higher layer protocol would/could handle the disparate speeds, eg TCP/IP, provided, of course, that one is using it. The TCP can change the window size accordingly to throttle the arrival of any data between client and...

    Buffering between networks of disparate speeds

    Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated. Discussions with other Linux familiar s/w eng suggested that kernel will allocate sufficient buffers as necessary to accommodate data arriving faster than it can be consumed with the upper limit, presumably, RAM available, or, as dos2unix advised...

That is, if I have a Gigabit Ethernet interface and want to forward data arriving at that interface to say a 10/100 network, how can one specify buffers of sufficient number in order to...
