Ick.
Are you using UDP or TCP?
This is using NDMP (not NFS), so I'm guessing it is a TCP connection between the two filers.
And (ignorant question) is Fast ethernet Gigabit or 100Mbit?
"Fast Ethernet" is 100 Mbps. I am able to write at over 10 MB/sec via NFS to the very same filer, and the CPU isn't pegged near 100%, so I'm guessing that the code path that handles NDMP writes in DOT isn't nearly as efficient as the NFS code.
