I am not sure how realvant this is, but since I have been E-mailing lately
about problems I have been having with pppd and eth0-1 freezing and
thawing and the exceptionally high collision rates on one segment...
For the heck of it (and seeing an unrelated posting), I decided to remove
the multicast setting from my kernel.
Again, this is not a scientific procedure, so the proof is very
subjective, but my collisions have dropped _dramaticlly_. By dramatically
I am seeing less than 1/10 % collisions now where I was seeing at least
5% before.
I am still able to show that an ftp get to this box will up the
collisions much more than an ftp put.
FYI,
