Everything on my internal network is gigabit except the firewall (which
has a QFE and only about 12.5Mbit down/1.5 up) and the 11g router, which
likewise can only manage about 20Mbit of throughput.  (The 11n router is
gigabit, iirc, but it's plugged to one of the QFE ports on the firewall;
then again it's unlikely to ever achieve 100Mbit of real-world
throughput anyway.)
