I have strange results from a iperf test.
PC1: physical NAs4Free based on HP N54L
PC2: ESXi 5.1 based VM running W2008R2 with BackupExec and a LTO Tape passed through.
because of slow running tape backups, I tested with iperf
iperf -s on the virtual machine and iperf -c on the HP54L gives me 936 Mbit/s, which seems to be a good value.
The other way round gives only 313 MBit/s
What can be the reason ?
P.S.: Another test with another VM behaves similar

Re: interpretation of iperf results
the LAN VM driver is not the best possible for your NIC. try other or try to put an INTEL NIC that have normally better support.drnicolas wrote:What can be the reason ?
