well, this is what I got: bypass the firewall (just 2 PCs connected via the switch):
iperf -c server-ip -t 60 -M 500 380Mb/s iperf -c server-ip -t 60 -M 500 -d 477Mb/s 422 Mb/s comparing to the tests with bce driver: iperf -c server-ip -t 60 -M 500 300Mb/s 52 -85kpps iperf -c server-ip -t 60 -M 500 -d 303Mb/s (and it says write2 failed: broken pipe) with firewall turned off (in the advanced options): iperf -c server-ip -t 60 -M 500 -d 199Mb/s 656Mb/sec 85kpps iperf -c server-ip -t 60 -M 500 371-487Mb/s 67-114kpps it gave me different results every time. all the rules on the firewall were "allow any to any". the results look kinda weird to me. Especially that the same test would gave me 2 absolutely different results. Does it tell you anything? Lenny.
