How did you test, with what software? Also:
MB = MegaBytes
mb = megabits
Assuming you mean 10MB/s then you probably have a 100FDX ethernet NIC,
switch, or both.

If this is a 10/100FDX card and/or switch you're pretty close to topped
out. I can achieve 11.5MB/s with FTP and an Intel PILA8470B 10/100 PCI
NIC and 100FDX switch. My Samba performance however tops out around
8-9MB/s despite my numerous efforts at tuning over many years.

First tell us what the link speed is. If it's 100FDX then you don't
have a problem.
In fact, what you should have done, and need to do, is provide as much
detail about your NIC, switch, and network topology in general, in order
for us to give you concise answers.
