I have seen 200MB/s over infiniband. Needless to say I was not overly impressed, expecting more something in the 800-900MB/s
range. (pci-x bottlenecked infiniband)

I'd like to know the fastest that anyone has seen an NFS server run, over either a 10Gb/s ethernet link or a handful of link aggregated (channel-bonded) Gb/s ethernet lines.

This would be with a small number of clients making large file sequential reads from the same NFS host/server. Please assume that the NFS server has 'infinitely fast' disks.

I am told by one vendor that "NFS can't run faster than 100MB/sec". I don't understand or believe this. If the server's local disks can read/write at 300MB/s and the networking can run substantially faster than 100 MB/s, I don't see any constraint to faster operation. But perhaps someone on this list can provide real-world data (or say why it can't work).

Note: I am free to use modern versions of the NFS protocol, jumbo frames, large rsize/wsize, etc.
