We have an IB IPoIB network for storage. Thats why you see a throughput
at 400 MB/sec. For a cross check I mounted the NFS share through the
ovirtmgmt interface (our normal trusted internal network) on a 1GBit
Intel network card.

The throughput is exatly the same - throttled at round about 16MB/sec:

Maybe that is no problem at all for the VMs. But in my case it would be helpful
to know the switch to temporarily flood the channels for fast migration.
