I'm not sure how to diagnose this. I don't have administrative access
to the Openstack deployed in my university's cluster so I cannot tell
if there is any kind of setting that would affect TCP-over-TCP
traffic. I'll inquire about it though.

I've tried with various values between 5000 and 50000 and all have
yielded poor results. I'll run some tests with lower values and come
back with some figures.

I'm not sure if that is an issue. As far as I know, the virtualization
used is KVM, so I think being closer to the hardware than something
like VMWare or Virtualbox would prevent such issues.

In any case I'll reply with some updated facts. Thank you for your help! :)

All the best,
