Transfer between two endhosts in 1 Gb NIC

Transfer between two endhosts in 1 Gb NIC

Hello jedis, i did a test between two end hosts connected to a switch extreme a summit 460-24p, so the both hosts negotiated with the switch a speed of 1G but the transfer between the two hosts it's about 40MB, it's that ok?
Also i put it the speed in manual mode, but give the same 40MB, so i want to know if that is the normal behavior between two windows hosts connected to the same switch and a uplink connected to the network
if i detect some kind of broadcast o multicast, could this reduce or bandwidth?

Connect the two systems directly with a patchcable (no switch involved) and re-run the test and let us know the result.
