My setup:
- Server: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor, Gigabit network card
- Client: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 3.00GHz, Gigabit network card
Both functioning Linux Mint and all joined through a gigabit router utilizing cat 6+ cables. Local HDD file duplicate is about 90 MB/s on both computer. Doubling files over the network appears to be limited at about 30 MB/s. From the top command I can observe that both computers utilize all their CPU resources, generally just 1 core is utilized. I attempted copying files utilizing Samba, NFS, and HTTP and with the SCP command: result is all the time similar. Am I doing something incorrect or is it only the way it is? Did you ever manage to get superior transfer rates on Gigabit Ethernet? I mean genuine file transfer, not just a few technical measurements on the physical layer.
