Hello everybody,
I recently moved to a new place and of course one of my wishes was to have cabled connections from the cellar to all rooms, as I don't trust wireless (also because I'd like to run 10g in near future).
I pulled a cable, max 30 meter from my cave (mancave) to the cellar but I am getting some very weird iperf results. Sending data to my server (vm on esxi) gets me a speed of over 940mbps which makes sense, however when receiving, on both my 5960X desktop and laptop I achieve a max of ~430mbps.
I connected the desktop to a iscsi drive on the server as well and during big transfers the connection would suddenly drop and stay dead until i replugged the cable.
I'm a little at loss here, the only thing I believe it could be is that I used UTP cabling (which should be ok for homes). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
