When using nc
, scp
, wget
to transfer files between 2 machines on a dedicated 2Mbps link, I get speeds between 0.5 and 1 Mbps. However, when I use iperf -c 10.0.1.4 -t 20 -P 12
(for example) I can maximise the speed of the link (getting stable 2Mbps).
Is there a way to make single stream transfers (such as those done by scp
) to utilise all/most of the link? Some kind of tcp settings, or iptables...?
