I forgot to check that.

I've attached the full "ethtool -S" output from both the Asus and
SuperMicro systems. Here's just the bandwidth info:
Asus eth2:
[root@...est1 ~]# ethtool -S eth2
NIC statistics:
...
read_dma_bw_MBs: 1625
write_dma_bw_MBs: 1599
read_write_dma_bw_MBs: 3192
SuperMicro eth2 (on 5520 connected to NUMA node 1):
[root@...ntest1 ~]# ethtool -S eth2
NIC statistics:
...
read_dma_bw_MBs: 1624
write_dma_bw_MBs: 1605
read_write_dma_bw_MBs: 1323
SuperMicro eth8 (on 5520 connected to NUMA node 0):
[root@...ntest1 ~]# ethtool -S eth8
NIC statistics:
...
read_dma_bw_MBs: 1572
write_dma_bw_MBs: 1605
read_write_dma_bw_MBs: 2113

Yes, I'd be interested.
