Network very very slow... was iSCSI and jumbo frames



	Hello,

	Now jumbo frames are enabled :

23:27:55.227343 IP legendre.systella.fr.58386 >
euclide.systella.fr.iscsi-target: Flags [.], seq 3959352:3968300, ack

2593, win 4438, options [nop,nop,TS val 192 ecr 896198099], length 8948

	But jumbo frames and Intel adapter don't increase NAS throughput :
              204Mb           407Mb           611Mb           814Mb
0.99Gb
└─────────────┴───────────────┴───────────────┴───────────────┴───────────────
legendre.systella.fr => euclide.systella.fr       74.9Mb  78.2Mb  78.0Mb
                     <=                            379Kb   410Kb   374Kb


	With old Realtek and MTU 1500, throughput was about 10 Mbytes/s. With a
new Intel adapter and jumbo frames, I obtain the same result (screen
capture in attachement). Please not that NAS CPU is not overloaded.

	On NetBSD side, top returns :

	This system is not overloaded. NAS and NetBSD server are directly
connected (no switch). I have tried to add some options to ifconfig
(tso, csum...) without result.

	I suppose there is somewhere a bottleneck, but where ?
