    Slow iperf speed (4gbit) between 2 mellanox connectx 3 vpi cards with 40gps link

    I made a test mounting an ubuntu installation on the windows host and now the link is 30gbps in iperf3. 30 seems the maximum right now without any additional enhancement or optimization. It is over infiniband. Running iperf3 with -P or multiple iperf3 instances the result is always 30gb summing...

Accessing the smb folders using the 10gb ethernet cards i reach 1200 megabyte per sec. Using the mellanox cards only 600 megabyte...

    Slow iperf speed (4gbit) between 2 mellanox connectx 3 vpi cards with 40gps link

    I think iperf is correct because if i try an smb transfer i can’t get more than 600megabyte per second. However i will try with live images
