I have several 2208 DLink switches and am only getting 600Mb/s ish on iperf. I've run all permutations of the systems below and the net is about the same. I've tried with multiple machines and believe I have narrowed it down to the switches. At first I was thinking it was the PCI bus causing the slowness but they are the only devices on the PCI buses on those systems. In theory they should not be bound. In practice let's call it 800Mbps so I'm 95% sure it's not PCI. In addition, saw a few reviews with that particular switch that shows the iperf around what I've seen. I will probably back to back wire to test for fun but that's a lot of trouble. Anyway, a couple of questions. What affordable switches out there will do near 1Gb/s in iperf?
