When doing this on freebsd it is about 100 megabyte and it saturates my gigabit link (freebsd to freebsd). Same hardware.

Hi Dan

Thanks for your input. I have had this problem for a long time, then i 
thought is was the old SunSSH but the problem seems to persist with OpenSSH.

I have not touched the frame size, the only thing i have is LACP with 
L3,L4. Intel NIC on a supermicro board.

Tried to set send and recv buffer but there was no difference. It's 
about the same speed with both sending and recieving ~40-45M/s.

I have found that zrep is simple enough for me that manually replicates 
my system on an irregular basis. Maybe there is something that simple 
around that works with netcat.

Regards
Martin
