We just had a few moments of excitement when several production
servers became slow to respond and collisions escalated.

Turns out someone was transferring a large file between two high end
FreeBSD systems, and this saturated the 10-BaseT segment they share
with several other hosts.

Switching hub and/or fast ether are in the cards, but I wonder, is
there a way - sysctl? bandwidth limits? - to keep this from happening
in the mean time?
