RE: Virtual LAN speeds

If you are able to operate without the token ring adapter active, vary it
off and try your speed test again.

A few months ago I was experiencing degraded performance as well. Disabling
the token ring card correcting it immediately.

It'd have a hard job - the virtual LAN is the only active link at present. 
The other cards (token ring & Gigabit ethernet) have nothing connected to
them. There are also dedicated LAN console cards hooked up to our network,
but they don't appear in any of the defined routes or host table entries.
Nothing outside of the vLAN can be pinged from the LPARs in question. I'll
ask our BP about it tomorrow, as they've set it up. 

The reason I'm doing this is because we tend to use SAVRSTOBJ a lot, and
that doesn't work over the vLAN as SNA is required[1]. A couple of LPARs
will still have token ring, but the rest won't. I've put together an FTP
based equivalent that's faster than the token ring on our current system,
but it seems way short of the speeds I'd expect.
