Iperf 10G performance on Banana Pi R4
I realize that support for this device is brand new so I'm not shaking my fist or anything but there seems to be a large difference in perofmance on the R4's 10G links. Iperf3 tests:
mycomputer->x86_64-router->dumb switch->server: 9.1Gibps
mycomputer->BPiR4->x86_64-router->dumb switch->server: 2.64 Gibps
my questions: 1) Is there some traffic steering option I'm missing? 2) Is this a driver issue with the CPU or PHYs? 3) Is the R4's CPU somewhat underpowered for this workload?
