What precisely are you using to bridge your gigabit networks together?

Our small work fileshare suffered chronically low speed even though our cabling and switches were all supposed to be gigabit rated. But one of our cheaper gigabit switches turned out to not be transferring at gigabit speeds even though it negotiated at 1000baseTX-FD. It cheated by spamming "pause" packets whenever network performance threatened to exceed 100baseTX transfer rates. It was a dlink product, of course. When we replaced it, everyone was amazed at the improvement.

I tracked it down by using ethtool to show how many pause packets were happening. I don't know the AIX equivalent but it's something to look for.
