Hi Wido,

What is the full topology? Are you using a north-south or east-west? So far
I've seen the east-west are slightly slower. What are the fabric modes you
have configured? How is everything connected? Also you have no information
on the OS - if I remember correctly there was a lot of improvements in the
latest kernels...

And what about the bandwith?

The values you present don't seem awfully high, and the deviation seems low.
