(2) Getting this kind of throughput seems to depend on a fast physical layer, plus some link-layer help (jumbo packets), plus careful TCP tuning to deal with the large bandwidth-delay product. The IP layer sits between the second and third of those three items. Is there something about IPv6 vs. IPv4 that specifically improves perfomance on this kind of test? If so, what is it?
I wonder if the router forward v6 as fast. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
