Are the packets read from detail file send sequentially, waiting for
each individual response before sending next packet, or are the
packets send in groups, and then potentially the re-try occurs for
those that didn't receive the reply?
Studying the packet flows with tcpdump suggests that former. If that
is the case that with 150ms latency all you can get is about 6-7
packets a second.


kind regards
