kafka max throughput in MB/Second

What is the max throughput of kafka in MB/second. I am trying to send messages of size 2MB each and get a throughput of about 30 records per second (i.e. 60 MB/second) I wanted to check what was the theoretical max throughput that could be reached.

Kafka is usually network bound -- so it depends on your hardware. Theoretical max for 1Gbit Ethernet would be 125MB/sec.
