ntttcp Overview
There are two switches on ntttcp that boost performance: -a and -rb.
ntttcp can be run without an optimal value for the -a switch and without the
-rb switch for the QLE3044.
When running ntttcp with the QLE3142, and in particular with fewer threads on
Windows Server, performance is limited by the receive window and by the
outstanding I/O (-a) value, regardless of hardware limitations.
