also, the realtek chip you mention has a hard limitation of around 500Mbps on either transmit or receive, i'm not sure. this is according to luigi rizzo's netmap testing on freebsd. try pairing it with a better chip for testing. i'm able to get over 1Gbps single-TCP stream file xfer with modern openbsd and fast machines and SSDs, but that's nothing notable these days.
