That being said, it's hard to tell with incremental backups and some of our full backups have other bottlenecks. I'm guessing support for IP Checksum Offload, TSO et al will be driver dependant so it may be quite messy to work out which the details of what cards/kernels/OSes do and don't make full use of these in IPv6. The tool to use for testing this is probably iPerf. I must do some investigation myself.
