Thanks for the reply miles.

I am not sure what you mean the "10's"...can you explain further.

Also, I appreciate NFS, Samba etc. will have an overhead, but this is in my 
view way too low for a gigabit pipe.

How else can I narrow down the issue?

Sorry, I shouldn't have replied the post in a hurry.

112 MBytes/sec (896Mbit/s) looks much better than the results you got from NFS, Samba. I notice the uperf test you ran lasted for only 10 seconds, it may not reflect the throughput precisely. I suggest you lengthen the running time of the uperf test. (Let's say 600 seconds.) And please specify the number of connections, the packet size. All of these parameters affect the throughput.

If iperf or uperf results turn out good. I'm more suspect the low throughput you observed is related with the implementation of the specific application layer protocols such as NFS, Samba.

Thanks,

Miles
