Oh i didn't saw tomas mail - maybe he just replied to the list. I'm not 
subscribed. But i found his mail and will reply in a seperate email.

I tried now umac-64 at openssh.com this gives me 400MB/s - is this the 
maximum i can expect through 10GBE? Link shows avg rate of 6,5Gbit/s.

Yes it was from scp but just transfering one 20GB file. But i missed the 
disk speed problematic. In my original task i would just like to 
transfer as much data as possible (in memory - no disks involved).
