I would want to first understand why there is such a big difference
with the direction. Is it TCP backing off because of the packet loss?
Or is there some other problem.
Maybe try with UDP streams, say with a bandwidth of 5Mbps. Do you
loose 4Mbps in one direction? Or a much smaller number of packets.
Are there any usable statistics? FCS errors?
