Hello Karl,
 
What are using to do the transmission? ftp? scp? Note with the latter that the 
data will be encrypted so lots of CPU overhead, especially if on the same box, 
where both encryption and decryption are occurring.
 
Are you sending the file to disk? To determine if that's the bottleneck when 
transferring to another server on the same box, try sending to /dev/null. Run 
it once to get the file loaded into cache on the sending server, so the second 
time around it's essentially a memory-to-memory transfer.
 
Good luck!

hi Folks.. 

We have a z10BC and I'm trying to get Jumbo Frames to work. 

I set the MTU in Linux to 8992.   BUT when I transfer, I'm only seeing 20MB/s? 

Even if it's between 2 servers on the same box and subnet? 

Did I misconfigure something?
