I apologize, but I am now confused. Let me see if I can translate:

* you ran the non-MPI version of the NetPipe benchmark and got 9.5Gps on a
10Gps network

* you ran iperf and got 9.61Gps - however, this has nothing to do with MPI.
Just tests your TCP stack

* you tested your bandwidth program on a 1Gps network and got about 90%
efficiency.

Is the above correct? If so, my actual suggestion was to run the MPI
version of NetPipe and to use the OSB benchmark program as well. Your
program might well be okay, but benchmarking is a hard thing to get right
in a parallel world, so you might as well validate it by cross-checking the
result.

I suggest this mostly because your performance numbers are far worse than
anything we've measured using those standard benchmarks, and so we should
first ensure we aren't chasing a ghost.
