I have only one small test (using netperf) to hand.

This was between two different clients and my linux router.

client0 (PII-300 with a DEC 21140 tulip 100mbps half-duplex card) linked to
router via a 3com 3300 switch

client1 (dual pII-400 server, Acenic gigabit card)linked to router via
another 3com 3300 switch with a 3com gigabit module

router (Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 on AMD K6400, 3*eepro100 82559 dual cards) 

Both clients were quiescent for the test, but the router was under normal
load.

(1) client0 (tulip half-duplex) - ROUTER (eepro100 full duplex)

client0> ./netperf -l 60 -H ROUTER -t TCP_STREAM -i 10,2 -I 99,5 -- -m 32768 -s 65536 -S 133000
TCP STREAM TEST to ROUTER : +/-2.5% @ 99% conf.

(2) client1 (eepro100 full-duplex) - ROUTER (eepro100 full duplex)

client1:~/netperf_stuff# ./netperf -l 60 -H ROUTER -t TCP_STREAM -i 10,2 -I 99,5 -- -m 32768 -s 65536 -S 133000
