The behavior I find puzzling is how rapidly you lose your measurement
flows, basically immediately after you hit slow start on the test, packet
loss there occurs and they all die.

My guess is you actually have insufficient buffering on the gpon or onc sides,
which also explains your low latency.

Ah.

The only things I have found that can push that are x86 boxes mostly.

Toke is evaluating a few new ones.
