USB 1.1 has a max rate (full speed)  of 12Mb/sec. But that includes
all the overhead so you won't actually acheive this for
communications.
But anyway, there is no requirement (or capability?) to actually
maintain a 10 or 100Mb/sec rate on an ethernet carrier. You sens a
burst of data at that rate, then wait a while & send another burst.
