Can you post the output of "get-SMBClientConfiguration"?
Other question: do you need so many interfaces? (If I need more than 1gbe bandwidth on a workstation or server then I use cheap mellanox 10gbe cards.)
EnableMultiChannel is true. Are there any other parameters you want to know specifically? [I cannot cut and paste between those machines and internet connected, so i need to type manually.]
This isnt my kit so i cant put other nics in, this is a test with existing kit to improve bandwidth. We've acheived that, but not the theoretical max (and max reported by others, Youtube vids etc.) and want to examine why.
It seems to work better if there are different subnets. (this adds load to your routers though).
Make sure that your RSS settings are optimal for the CPU the cards are connected to. Assuming you have a multi-proc server.

For different subnets do you mean just setting different IP addresses in the TCPIP settings for each adapter, or settings the ports to different VLANs?
2 CPUs each with 12 cores, but NIC adapter settings increase the queues in multiples, so i have them set to 8 queues (the max setting).
Changing adapter settings increase from about 200 to 220 mb/s but it maxes out at that level. Even tried maxing CPU's (using 7-zip on all cores) on each server (points A and B in the transfer) which doesnt slow down the speed at all, so this is not a cap due to available CPU.
