Doing what? Measured by what? Coming from/going to what on the other
end? Smart or dumb card? What Amiga CPU?

Your question is unanswerable without more info.

But for comparison: An A2000 with A2065 running AS225R1 NFS client
being served by a Sun can get about 150kbytes/s on a single large file
copy. If you're doing something else with the file system, it can be
slower. AmigaVision will save at about 10k/s in the same configuration
for e.g. (it hits a worst case function).

An A3000 can get double the speed of the A2000 with all else being
equal, because of the faster CPU.

Using A4066es and fast enough Amigas with Envoy, you can get 500k.

If you write your own TCP/IP code to blast packets out as fast as you
can, and the net is otherwise idle, and ... ?

Then you might get close to your 1M/s.
