It's interesting that you see good performance over -netdev socket TCP
with the other NIC models.
I don't know what the issue would be, you'll probably need to dig
further to discover the problem. Using wireshark might be a good start.
Try to figure out where the delay is incurred and then instrument that
code to find out the cause.
