Maybe TCP/IP is not the most efficient way to send data to the local
machine, but nevertheless, we're talking about sending (braille) text
here aren't we? A cygwin loopback ttcp connexion on my laptop gets...
bash-3.2$ ttcp -fM -sr &  ttcp -fM -n80000 -st 127.0.0.1
[1] 3000
ttcp-r: buflen=8192, nbuf=2048, align=16384/0, port=5001  tcp
ttcp-r: socket
ttcp-t: buflen=8192, nbuf=80000, align=16384/0, port=5001  tcp  -> 127.0.0.1
ttcp-t: socket
ttcp-r: accept from 127.0.0.1

[1]+  Done                    ttcp -fM -sr
...around 80MByte/sec, which maybe isn't as fast as it could be using
native functionality, but surely brltty doesn't need *that* much
bandwidth for transferring text?
