True, but that's not a problem in my situation. I don't expect to be
able to do casual communication on a machine while it receives data at
wire speed. I just wanted to let not participating machine use the
network, and that works.    

Again, that tool just do what it was written for, and I never pretended
it would scale to other situations. It clearly lacks rate control, and
I'll improve it one day when I'll have time and motivation.
