I'm getting approximately 325 Mbits/sec throughput with Iperf on VM-network-VM (same host) tests without any tuning whatsoever. I know that's very slow but what would be considered an achievable result given my setup (see below)?
Host: Win 7/Workstation 9/E5620/24 GB Ram/10 GbE
VMs: Win 7/3 Gb RAM
bin/iperf.exe -c 192.168.2.4 -P 1 -i 1 -p 5001 -f m -t 10
