I've made some tests on bare metal:
Dell PE R815, Intel 82599EB 10Gb, 3.11-rc4 32 bit kernel with 3.17.3 
ixgbe (TSO, GSO on), iperf 2.0.5
Transmitting packets toward the remote end (so running iperf -c on this 
host) can make 8.3 Gbps with the default 128k tcp_limit_output_bytes. 
When I increased this to 131.506 (128k + 434 bytes) suddenly it jumped 
to 9.4 Gbps. Iperf CPU usage also jumped a few percent from ~36 to ~40% 
(softint percentage in top also increased from ~3 to ~5%)
So I guess it would be good to revisit the default value of this 
setting. What hw you used Eric for your 20Gb results?

Zoli
