AsymmetricThroughput soon to be closed (input from SimonLeinen). SimonLeinen added a "Current Status" section in which he tried to describe the current state of knowledge about the issue.

quote from SimonLeinen e-mail: "In short, I think we should be able to close this soon. On April 22, Chris Welti was able to demonstrate good throughput from and to a laptop at ESTEC - using Iperf with appropriate options to make it set the TCP send-buffer size to a sufficiently high value. For programs that don't request a larger send-buffer size, TCP transmission rate will always be limited on Windows XP, because there doesn't seem to be a system-wide default for the send-buffer size associated with TCP sockets."
