I transfer from 1 linux host to another linux host around 15TB data. The sender host have those network cards:

[44.206701] igb: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX
[44.274112] bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth0, 1000 Mbps full duplex.
[44.278534] igb: eth1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX
[44.573636] bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth1, 1000 Mbps full duplex.

The receiver host have this network card:

[16.964486] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None

My max transfer speed right now is 11 MB/s. I'm wondering, what do I need to do to increase the transfer speed? upgrade the receiver network card?

Thanks!
 
Solution
yes upgrade the receiving network card to a 1000mb card should help a lot if the wiring also supports 1000mp connection

the slowest device determines the max speed in this case it is the 100mb network card that's the slowest item
