Linux network tuning: TCP BBR, NIC ring buffers, and SFTP throughput
SFTP capped at 800 KB/s on a Gbit link. CUBIC, default ring buffers, misconfigured socket buffers — five kernel and daemon tweaks that bring throughput from 800 KB/s to several MB/s.

And yet every SFTP transfer caps out somewhere around 800 KB/s. Not 80 MB/s — 800 kilobytes per second. Less than 1% of the theoretical capacity. The problem isn't bandwidth.
