Description
Setup:
- two Xeon boxes
- one Intel X520 10G-base-T NIC (ixgbe driver) in each box
- a single CAT6 cable to link them
- DragonFly-3.1 server
- Linux kernel 2.6.32 client
NFS/TCP file transfer performance only reaches 450 KB/s top
The same Linux client machine is able to read files at a speed of 110 MB/s using
regular Gigabit network interfaces (bce and em drivers)

DragonFly is not to blame for these abysmal performance results after all.
The original Linux client machine was running Scientific Linux 6.2; updating it to SL 6.3 was enough to
fix the transfer speed issues at 10Gb/s.
Even though Scientific Linux 6.3 also uses a 2.6.32 kernel, it is able to read files at speeds up to 5.4 Gb/s.
