Are these values from a tool like ethtool or are they just what you
think they should be? I've sometimes had bad cables/connectors cause
speeds to be limited to 100Mbit instead of gbit.

As for software problems you'd need to provide/look at some more details
like cpu load, interrupts, top, htop, dstat -lpma, mpstat -I ALL, dmesg.
That cpu should be able to easily handle gbit speed though and a bridge
in linux should be able to far exceed your network speeds.

Hope that helps,
Florian
