I had a 1Gb network which I upgraded recently to 40Gbps. I have DELL servers with ESXi7 installed. My issues. When I run iperf between two virtual machines, I get a bandwitch ranging from 6Gbits/sec to 10Gbits/sec. When I copy files with scp I getting a transfer speed of about 110-120MB/s which is very far from the theorical bandwitch of 1GB/s x 4 ~ 4G/s for a 40G network. Recently I discovered that encryption reduce transfer speed so, I setup FTP server. Transfer speed doubled with FTP. I got a transfer rate about 240-280 MB/s. I also updated MTU to 9000 on both hosts and VMs but transfer rates are still the same. My needs. I am looking for an Cisco/VMWare expert who can identify and solve the issue. I need 40G Network bandwidth as configured in Switch to be reflected in Virtual machines I also need the transfer speed to reflect as close as possible transfer speed of 40G network (~1250 MB/s x 4). You will need to connect remotely using TeamViewer. This is the current architecture details: - Cisco Nexus 9396PX Switch with 40G module - 4 Dell PowerEdge R930 Servers (VMware ESXi7 hosts) - NVME disks on each server - 40 Gbps Mellanox NIC on ESXi7 hosts - QSFP+ DAC cables to connect servers to switch

Hi there, Based on the information you have provided, it seems like you have already taken some troubleshooting steps, such as setting up an FTP server and updating the MTU to 9000 on both hosts and VMs. However, you are still not getting the desired transfer speed of 1250 MB/s x 4 on your virtual machines. As a professional in this field, I would first recommend reviewing the configuration settings of your network components to ensure that they are optimized for 40G network speeds. This includes reviewing the settings on your Cisco Nexus 9396PX switch, your Dell PowerEdge R930 servers, and your Mellanox NIC on ESXi7 hosts. It may also be helpful to review the network utilization and bandwidth usage during the file transfer to identify if there are any bottlenecks or congestion issues. Additionally, it may be worth reviewing the TCP window scaling settings on both the client and server to ensure that they are configured appropriately for high-speed transfers. Finally, it may be necessary to conduct a more in-depth analysis of your network traffic to identify any underlying issues that may be affecting your network performance. This can be done using network analysis tools such as Wireshark. I am confident that with a thorough review and analysis of your network configuration and traffic, we can identify and resolve the issues you are experiencing. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you.
