It's like USB.  Also, like USB, most of the devices use standard

It's my understanding that although in principle TCP can handle huge
throughputs in practice many stacks haven't been optimized for that case, so
you have to either use a utility which opens multiple TCP sessions in parallel
or do something really radical like upgrade to the latest version of the linux
kernel.
