Performance Comparison of Category 5e vs. Category 6 Cabling Systems for both IPv4 and IPv6 in Gigabit Ethernet

摘要

The performance of category 5e and category 6 cabling systems is compared for both IPv4 and IPv6 using Gigabit Ethernet LAN. The maximum bandwidth achieved over Gigabit Ethernet was 700Mbps and it was for IPv4 and category 5e cabling. IPv4 and IPv6 resulted in better TCP and UDP throughput on Category 5e than it did with Category 6.
