[zeromq-dev] Using the full bandwidth of a 10 GBps link on Windows 7

[Edwin van den Oetelaar]

Hello Andy,
My guess is that your performance is limited by latency, not raw bandwidth.
To saturate a 10GBps link you need to work hard.
You might need to increase the MTU (jumbo frames), tweak RX/TX buffer size
of the network stack.
You want to decrease the number of interrupts the card generates (by
streaming big chunks over the network).

Before you tried this with ZMQ have you tried simple file copy between
machines or running a tool like netperf (I know this is Linux).
Maybe ZMQ is not your problem yet, there could be many other reasons why
your performance is below expectations.

Greetings,
Edwin van den Oetelaar
