Hello, Im trying to find what my max throughput and then transfer Video files.
I have a ha D3000 in LA and ha D3700 NYC both on 6.0.1
phase 1 aes128, sha1, Diffie hell groups 14 and 5
phase 2 aes128, sha1, replay detection enabled, perfect forward secrecy disabled
both sites have 10gig circuits
I have 2 iperf box's connected straight in to the fg with 10g Ethernet
current ping 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 69.2/69.2/69.3 ms
====
now if i do just a straight ieprf -c to my server in nyc i get
iperf3.exe -c 192.168.205.2 -V -i 10
iperf 3.1.3

and last thing i tried was adjusting the mss but i get no change from that as well
(do i need to set that on the server side as well?)

and lastly if i do 80 streams at once i get like 901Mbits per sec. i checked the tcp throughput calculator and with a rtt of 69 my max should be around 1692.75 Mbit/sec. so what gives?
any help would be huge. thanks so much!
