What‘s the maximum speed supported by PCIE Ethernet for Jetson AGX Xavier?

I am use PCIe to communicate between two Xaviers now,Some problems encountered in actual use,
According to document << Jetson AGX Xavier PCIe Endpoint Mode>>, Bringing Up an Ethernet Interface Over PCIE。
Related version:JetPack4.6 KernelVersion:4.9.253-tegra
In actual use, I use iperf3 for PCIE network card performance testing,

I have a few questions from the above tests:
(1)From the physical information of the actual pcie, it can be known that 16GT/S, Width x8 is used, and the throughput is about 15.754GB/s, 126Gb/s,However, the average rate of the actual test of iperf3 is only about 3.03 Gbits/sec,Why is there such a big difference from the actual speed?
(2)From the results of the iperf3 test, it can be seen that the rate fluctuates between 1.4Gbits/sec and 4.6Gbits/sec. What is the reason for this instability?
(3)What is the maximum speed supported by PCIE Ethernet for Jetson AGX Xavier?Has anyone actually tested this maximum rate?

Sorry for the late response, is this still an issue to support? Thanks

Duplicate case? Can we close it and focus on What is the actual maximum speed of Jetson AGX Xavier PCIE Ethernet? ?
