When using the USB device as well it drops even further. So when trying to use this as a simple file server to serve files off a USB drive... the speed is cut again.
So the question remains... does this gbit nic actually provide gbit speeds or is it limited due to how its wired onto the board?
Lastly, do you have any iperf output that shows this?
The Gb NIC (Realtek RTL8211) directly connect to A64's RGMII port which will yield full Gb speed. The Gbp driver just up and running and we are currently fine tuning the performance. I will make some measurement and release on two weeks time.
