direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Something that strikes me is your latency and throughput: assuming it is 
not a typo, that latency is remarkably high. Between two of my 10GbE 
servers, I see an average latency of 0.07ms (from ping) and an iperf 
throughput of 9.8 Gb/s with MTU=9000 and 1 thread.
