   I guess that "MBytes" actually stands for mebibytes instead of   
   megabytes, whereas "Mbits/sec" stands for real megabits/second.   
   mega (M) = 10^6   
   mebi (Mi) = 2^20   
   so 658 MiBytes ~ 690 MBytes.

   Some factors such as latency (round trip time) and window size can limit   
   the actual throughput of a single TCP connection, so multiple TCP   
   connections may help using all the available bandwidth. But on a direct   
   ethernet link, which has a very low latency, there is no advantage.
