Slow ethernet in linux

[patrickhwood]

I'm having a problem with Ethernet speed too, but it's not nearly as severe as the OP.

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!

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.
