I don't know if you were using C++ but it looks like the mandated C++ update that was just released addresses several network usage/bandwidth bugs.

As to why the bandwidth is limited, each robot is running on a separate VLAN which shares bandwidth with other robots, so I assume we're really working under a 42Mbs limit. Your question might be answered in the FMS Whitepaper
