Open Stack

Look at the TCP stack within Windows and optimizations recommended by
Microsoft. I don't think it's a KVM or openstack question to be honest. We
ran into similar issues on plain old Win2008 R2 servers that were running
on bare metal. Will update again when I ping someone to find out what
specifically it was back then.
