I was taught at school that "laipsniai Celsijaus" (degrees Celsium in
Lithuanian) was translated to "degrees centigrade" in English.  Now
Wikipedia tells me "centigrade" is deprecated since 1948, because of the
confusion with the angle measure used in Spanish and French, that I
didn't know anything about.

Anyway, thanks for spiking my curiosity.

It's my understanding that although in principle TCP can handle huge
throughputs in practice many stacks haven't been optimized for that case, so
you have to either use a utility which opens multiple TCP sessions in paral=
lel
or do something really radical like upgrade to the latest version of the li=
nux
kernel.
