    I am trying to locate some performance info that characterizes
    NFS performance over FDDI using our TurboChannel FDDI options.
    
    I have seen several email messages with performance numbers for 
    TCP,UDP, and DECnet over FDDI, but have seen no formal characterization
    that could be given to a customer.  Does one exist?
    
    What impact would FDDI have on the performance of an NFS server?
    Specifically, is it possible to infer NFS performance numbers from
    the UDP numbers? 
     
    If one considers a 5000/240 with Prestoserve and FDDI, does it make sense
    to extrapolate the same NFS performance boost that one sees using
    Prestoserve over ethernet and apply it to FDDI?
    
    Any pointers, thoughts, opinions would be greatly appreciated.
