D. R,

A few months ago I looked into ethernet packet collisions and discovered
they are part of a normally operating ethernet. (Forgive me if you know
all this. :-) )

On your 5 node ethernet segment, I would expect collisions under load.

Can you tell that it is affecting operations?

This 'may' help.

It's not great but check it out. Hotbot and yahoo have thousands of hits
on 'ethernet and collisions.'
