# TCP adjustments for >1Gb/s
net.ipv4.tcp_no_metrics_save = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096        87380   16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096        87380   16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_reordering = 100
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 10000
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.wmem_max = 16777216

Can you achieve full bandwidth using iperf?

DRBD doesnt limit you, we recently got the resync up to 160MB/s (sustained)
using three interfaces of our quad gigabit nic.
