:Cap the window size via the driver. This will probably require
:another attribute on all drivers, indicating "max allowable window

It won't help. The problem is that the server is sending more
data then the client USB adapter can handle. If the client limits
its window size with the expectation that the server will send it
small packets, then any *other* transfer that uses larger packets
will have terrible performance.
