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.
