I have installed 10 gigabit fiber-optic cards in two of my servers, but when I test their throughput they run at only around 600Mbps or so:
$ scp random.1G rcm2:/tmp
random.1G 100% 1024MB 73.1MB/s 00:14
My routes look correct. The network drivers and hardware seem to be setup correctly.
Can someone please tell me where I should be looking next?
Here is more information:
