add this line "ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 autoneg off" or this other "/ sbin / mii-tool -F 100baseTx-FD eth0" no commas in the /etc/rc.local, before "exit 0" to it works for me.
A greeting.

I tested with iperf3 and the Pine is only getting around 450 Mbit/sec. When testing from another PC (on the same switch) I'm getting upwards of 900 Mbit/sec.

Any suggestions of things that I might need to reconfigure?

TIA!

You should read the messages in this part of the thread: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=293&pid=2810#pid2810

Bottom line is that you won't get max throughput with one thread, and inbound speeds are different from outbound.  My tests were all done over a direct connection with another host, no router or switch in the way, with minimal services running (e.g., no desktop).

I'm doubt dhcp has anything to do with network throughput. Once the ip address is assigned, the dhcp client will go idle for the span of the lease.

And here is my interfaces file

Code:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

As for the DHCP server settings, I'm not really sure what you are looking for. The DHCP server is a router supplied to me by my internet provider. If there are specific settings you are looking for to help troubleshoot, let me know and I can check them on the router.

And thank YOU for supporting me! :-)
