I find that rather curious, something in the windows 10 tcp settings that limit the outgoing throughput, window size maybe?

Same results with -P but without the “don’t fragment”?
Yes, exactly the same results.
I’m thinking it might be on the linux side? i’m double checking my debian network stack now
5 Gbps is the theoretical PCIe 1x limit, but I haven’t seen those in a while, so probably not that.
I’m… half tempted to ask you if you can reverse the cables in the path lol.
Maybe a pair somewhere isn’t as good as the others and affects data rate in that direction.
Far fetched, but…
I like the way you think! This is good engineering
I replaced both direct connect cables with new ones, I used new switch ports.
The asymmetry persists. Linux to windows 9.5GiB/s, Windows to Linux 6.5GiB/s
now we know it probably isn’t the cables!
