I currently have two AoE SANs deployed and they both have the same
problem. So I must be missing something somewhere. I originally wrote
about this last November:

http://www.mail-archive.com/aoetools-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00136.html

And never got the problem solved. I also did not get around to trying
the patch Ed suggested. But I have a feeling there has got to be
something I am doing wrong in the setup here. Performance didn't
really matter much on that deployment at the time although it is
becoming more important and I have just set up a second SAN with the
same issue where I really do need it to perform. I have set up AoE
SANs a few times before and got great performance. I'm not sure what
could possibly be different this time.

vblade-19 on the target side AoE v72 kernel module on the
initiator. Using mtu 9000 on all of the interfaces involved. HP
ProCurve 2810 switch with a dedicated VLAN for the AoE SAN. The switch
is set up for 9000 MTU also. The initiator says:

aoe: e0.0: setting 8704 byte data frames
aoe: e1.0: setting 8704 byte data frames

so I know it is getting the MTU right on that side. The initiator has
a vlan interface for the SAN which then goes over the bonded link.

cat /dev/etherd/err on the initiator produces lots of:

At this point I'm at a loss for what the problem could be.
