We have a cert-based site-to-site set up between 2 directly-connected 30E devices using the IPsec wizard to create a "Site-to-site (Fortigate)" tunnel. IPerf3 between 2 Windows PCs on either side gives around ~130mbit:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> iperf3 -c 172.16.16.25 -t 10 -i 1

iperf Done.
Is this expected? Anything I can do to get more bandwidth? (besides lowering crypto strength; the Phase 2 SA created is using AES256/SHA256, the minimum adequate today)...
