We have almost default setup from clean fuel 6.0, vlan based.
We are doing iperf based on 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFP+ interfaces (used in
our setup only for storage network) connected by fibre through Arista
7150.

Results on centos 6.5 deployed from fuel:
 0.0-10.0 sec  3.09 GBytes  2.65 Gbits/sec

Results on centos 6.5 from official site:
 0.0-10.0 sec  10.9 GBytes  9.38 Gbits/sec

In both cases tests were done with default tcp window size - 19.3KByte.
In both cases default mtu was with value 1500.

Commands used in test (after adding iperf tool from rpm):
  on one node:
    iperf -s -p 8777 
  on other node:
    iperf -c ip_address_of_server_in_storage_network -p 8777 -t 10

(port 8777 is one of passed as ACCEPT in iptables setup from fuel)

Differences are in kernel (from centos or from mirantis), values
in /etc/sysctl.conf (plain or from mirantis) and probably in cgroups
settings.

Probably in ~30 minutes we also will have results on plain centos with
mirantis kernel, and on fuel deployed centos with plain centos kernel
(2.6.32 in both cases, but with different patchset subnumber).
