Is it in network mode (desktop runs UHD code) or
embedded mode (desktop -> SSH to the N310 embedded OS -> UHD code)?

If it this in network mode, then it can't work.
1 channel at 41 Msps is almost 1.3 Gbps (41 * 16 * 2) transfer rate
over your 1GbE interface.
Furthermore, by specifying the rx and tx rate,
you start the benchmark in full-duplex (i.e Tx + Rx),
doubling the required transfer rate.
Either way, your network is not capable of handling that transfer rate,
you need to setup a 10GbE network.

I don't know the limitation of the N310 embedded ARM to have an opinion
in embedded mode.
