I am wondering what would cause this.
Hardware
The desktop, media-centre and desktop are all connected via cat-6e to a 16 port gigabit switch.
media-centre
The server
Software
Server: CentOS 6.5 with OpenVZ fully up to date (64bit): 2.6.32-042stab108.2
Media centre: Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit): 3.13.0-48-generic
I have benched the disks themselves and they look like this (all are writing a 32GB file):
Iperf tests
Media centre:
Server:
Now the weird thing is for network transfer. If I push from my desktop which has Raid-0 SSDs I get the following results (with a 24GB MKV) using RSYNC
Media Centre:
Server
I am wondering what would cause this? Network cards were my first thought but since iperf is almost identical I'm not sure. Would the OS disk cause this? I.E. the SSD can just push more throughput? I thought the NICs were more dependent on CPU, cabling and switches
EDIT: Just for S & G's I ran it against 2 machines that are using a power-to-ethernet adapter
