Is it possible to push 99.06Mbps on a Fast Ethernet interface on a Catalyst 3550? I thought the most traffics you can push through a Fast-Ethernet interface is around 95 or 96Mbps. Apparently, that is not the case:

C3550-lab#sh int f0/3

FastEthernet0/3 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

Hardware is Fast Ethernet, address is 0012.0003.1283 (bia 0012.0003.1283)

Comments anyone?
