The limitation is the speed of ethernet, not the software. The theoretical
maximum speed of ethernet is 10mbit/second, which would translate to
perhaps 1mbyte/second. Note that this is the TOTAL speed the cable will
carry for all connections, so 5 computers for example will have to share
this limit, each getting 1/5 of that bandwidth if they are all active at
the same time.
