So I have been recently working on a friend's server and have been transferring a large amount of files back and forth. To increase the speed at which this gets done I have connected his server to my switch via a 10Gb module as mine is already connected via 10Gb.
While transferring the files I noticed that each scp transfer was peaking usually about 118MB/s to 138MB/s so in an effort to expedite most of the folders I started other transfers, about 5 in total, each was peaking at about the same.
So it seems I am unable to transfer faster than about 1.2Gb/s per thread
It is my understanding there is a newer scp that allows multi-threading but I don't know if this is that version.
My question is, what is the limiting factor, why am I stuck at 1.2Gb/s and might I be able to correct this?
