The hardware involved are identical, the same client and server machine were used throughout the test. For the Win98-to-Win98 trial, the 80 MB directory sum up to 87,450,775 send bytes over 89107 frames, these number look reasonable to me as the extra 7 MB seem to be packet overheads introduced by What tools do you use to look into this matter (e.g., counting the
