Mikrotik Speed

Hello,

I have an infrastructure with two mikrotik routers. The uplink i have is 1G. The mikrotik routers are connected to switch and the servers are running proxmox for vm virtualization.
I have done various tests and a VM cannot reach more than 300MB/s downlink. Also i have conducted a bandwidth test between the two routers and still i see max 300-350Mb/s.
Is there something i'm missing? The links on the interfaces seem to negotiate at 1G speed but why i cannot achieve this rate ?
If you need more information please let me know.

The new results are these:

Testing download speed................................................................................
Download: 735.17 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed................................................................................................
Upload: 533.40 Mbit/s

This was great help. I don't assume i will get better speed than this.

Your welcome!.

I'm glad you improve your speed results!

735.17 Mbit/s is a good performance.

Just for the records, which MikroTik routers do you have?
