Marking it invalid against bridge-utils as the tool used to setup the bridge isn't the problem, it's most likely either a kernel bug or a configuration problem. I personally reproduce similar bottlenecks in the past and Simon's suggestion usually helps quite a lot (if CPU bound). ** Changed

@Michael, I haven't tried to reproduce your issue but maybe some of the bridge bottleneck comes from the netfilter hooks ? Maybe you could try setting those sysctl keys : net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables=0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables=0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables=0 That is

Thanks, Michael - that appears to show that the window size has nothing to do with it. At this point, I can only suggest watching 'top' while the benchmark is running, to see if the cpu is a bottleneck when you are getting the poor results. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in with
