iperf3 showing me a ton of retries only on TX.
I have replaced the cable twice, the sfp/rj45 converter and booted into a different OS (to rule out kernel drivers as it’s an i226 NIC). Speeds are about 20-30% less than I would expect on a 2.5gbe NIC.
It’s an onboard mobo NIC. Safe to assume at this point that NIC is the culprit?
