Boundaries of NFS throughput are defined by 2 parameters:

Examples of expected NFS throughput (NFS read/write speed) by different settings:

Given:

Expected:

Network

Disk throughput

IOPS

NFS version

NFS throughput (NFS read/write speed)

1 Gbps

125 MB/s

2000

 3 or higher

100 - 120 MB/s

5 Gbps

600 MB/s

4000

 3 or higher

500 - 600 MB/s

10 Gbps

1000 MB/s

4000

4,1

800 - 1000 MB/s

Equation:

Code Block
MIN("DISK THROUGHPUT", "NETWORK BANDWIDTH") - 30 PERCENT
e.g
Netwokr = 10 Gbps = 1.25 GB/s
Disk throughput = 1 GB/s
Then expected NFS throughput will be
min(1.25, 1) = 1 GB/s - 30 percent ~ 800 MB/s, 
we can expect sometimes the pick can be up to 1000 MB/s
