today's networking conundrum: two machines, both capable of 1Gbps ethernet, connected via two routers, each 1Gbps-capable too. but using scp to copy all my files from one machine to the other, i'm getting a sustained transfer rate of 1.1MB/s - less than 1% utilisation.
wtf

On my Netgear router I have to enable bypass mode on the built-in switch to achieve full 1Gbps from one wired client to the other, I lose the capability to have VLANs this way and probably something else — but I don't really use any of that.
Also, considering scp, could CPU of the sending machine be a bottleneck — still a possibility on low-powered machines 🤔
@m0xee they're not that low powered! sshd is taking 10% of the destination machine's CPU, give or take, and ssh is taking 3-5% of the client's CPU
