A few comments:
* A throughput of 2250 MB/s over a 10 Gb/s link is only possible when
running read and write tests simultaneously and when counting the traffic
that flows in both directions.
* These results say more about the NIC used than about they say about the
iSCSI initiator "software" used. A quote from
http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?culture=en-US&EventID=1032432957&CountryCode=US:
Topics we discuss include [ ... ] Advanced iSCSI acceleration features in
Intel Ethernet Server Adapters and how they work with the native iSCSI
support in Windows Sever 2008 R2.
