There are no MPE/iX numbers, but the netperf database has some FDDI
numbers for HP-UX systems with the HP-PB FDDI card. I suspect that the
MPE rates would not be much higher, don't know if they would be much
lower. I would probably not be as confident extrapolating any CPU
utilization numbers as I would the throughput.
 
I suspect that if folks have managed to get web servers runing under
MPE/iX, that getting netperf working should be fairly straightforward.
