I have a 2011 iMac with Sonnet PCIe enclosure/Myricom 10GbE card, bought in the hopes of making full use of my NAS' potential.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get the maximum out of my network, have tried tweaking the settings as per the guide here http://rolande.wordpress.com/2014/05/17/performance-tuning-the-network-stack-on-mac-os-x-part-2/

Downstream

Code:
 0.0-30.0 sec  18.8 GBytes  5.39 Gbits/sec

Upstream

Code:
0.0-30.0 sec  9.66 GBytes  2.77 Gbits/sec

Have checked all components including putting the Myricom NIC into an Ubuntu box and manage 9.8-9.9Gbits/sec with no tweaking.
Tried different cables
- DAC cable
- SFP+ to SFP+ modules
Tried many different settings, different thunderbolt ports
Using my MBP (results in 1/2 the speeds I see on my iMac!)

It's getting to the point where I have run out of ideas!

Just wondering if anyone here has experience with similar setups as I know this is a pretty niche market!
