   It this is the case, you could craft a similar   
   test from Linux, and see if there is a disparity in behavior   
   or performance.   
      
   And for the purposes of blasting Windows like that, you   
   should also use a desktop with a Wifi on it as your   
   test client. Make sure it is not set to "turn off to save power"   
   in the Device Manager properties.   
      
   Give it every best chance to perform.   
      
   The behavior is just a bit unbounded, so it can't   
   really be perfect. There are passive and active techniques,   
   and the active case, a packet can be lost on a collision.
