Observations on poor transfer performance - especially with writes to Echo - have been reported.
This is a brief summary of various performance studies.
Iperf3 testing
Tested with two versions of perf.
Overall the Multi-threaded (mt) gave better throughputs, particularly with the ingress to RAL rates.

Testing and results
Single-shot tests for each result; no significant difference observed between IPv4 and IPv6
Only the results from the MT tests are shown. Testing from JISC to RAL uses the --reverse
flag. i.e. the JISC end is always acting as the server
