Hey

Pretty much this is my issue > (right now my cable is only 5gbe... another strange issue where cat7 cable does not push 10gbe speeds, anyway...)
Sending is as expected 5gb (Current cable limit)

Code: 
iperf3.exe -c 192.168.3.30 -n 2G
Connecting to host 192.168.3.30, port 5201
[  5] local 192.168.3.11 port 58006 connected to 192.168.3.30 port 5201

But receiving is bad :- (

I tried jumbo frames going from 4000 to 16000, tried MTU on proxmox to 9000, enabled jumbo frames on switch > T1700G-28TQ

I'm lost,

When I do test on windows > VM > TrueNas, I get 120/110 MBytes download, its even worse!

Any ideas?

No, it's direct proxmox to windows. U can see that from windows to proxmox speed is 581 MBytes but from proxmox to windows 180.

I installed iperf with apt get on proxmox directly

Proxmox > cable > windows system. 10gbe cards etc. Separate systems. Ots strangr that one transfer is 1.7 faster than other.

No vm test here

I have been trying to figure it out from start, is there any command that can tell me that?
Its add on card, 2x 10gbe sfp+ from ebay, I've had it for a while now...
I think its a flavor of > Intel X520-DA2 2x SFP+ 10GB May be HP or Dell tho... I have 2 of them, I was considering swapping them to see if its card problem related...

Why? If native proxmox is failing, when I tried in TrueNas & iperf I'm already loosing speed going from 180 to 110-120 :/
I'll try some proxmox tunables but its looking grim ;c

I mean try ubuntu live and a debian live on host directly not in VM, that's what I will do to dig out.

isnt that what proxmox run on ? I installed iperf on proxmox directly and do tests with that. I don't test vms. Just direct proxmox iperf to windows PC... going via VM is even slower.
