Hi Eric,

Thanks for your suggestion.

You are right!
I am using TSO. The myri10ge driver is passing 64KB packets to the NIC.
I changed the class mtu parameter to 64000 instead of 9000.

Here is the result:
1.000 1.00
2.000 2.01
3.000 2.99
4.000 4.01
5.000 5.01
6.000 6.04
7.000 7.06
8.000 8.09
9.000 9.11
9.900 9.64

It's not so bad!
For more information, I updated the results on my page.

Best regards,
Ryousei
