By process of elimination (swap cables, swap ports, try different

What would be the next step to figuring out why this host's network
performance is slow?
My next step would be to check whether this host and its hub/switch
port agree on speed and duplex -- occasionally some combination
of netcard phy and switch type gets the negotiation wrong. Duplex
mismatch, in particular, can have huge performance impact.
I needed a windows utility to connect to my switch. Instead I just
added a realtek NIC to my server to replace the Marvell on-board NIC.
After this, network load using 'nc' to pipe 1MiB gives 98% transfer
rate. Even though I don't know what the problem was, I consider the
problem solved. Thanks.
