The HPN patch tunes "statically defined internal flow control buffers"
to dramatically improve SSH/SCP performance in high-bandwidth
situations, and where machines have more CPU power. See

http://www.psc.edu/networking/projects/hpn-ssh/

The systems should also have a "properly tuned TCP/IP stack".

We are about to test this as we sync GBs of data nightly. I'm also keen
to see how a pure VPN approach compares to normal SSH and HPN+SSH.
