IMHO it is a fools errand to place all priorty on one of throughput
or delay, but it is reasonable to slightly bias the situation to
defer a bit over throughput if a stable lower delay is gained.  The
lost of some throughput can often be made up with additional capacity,
but nothing can increase the speed of light.

A questions/comment inline below about this data.

Ok, so that is the clock source node, could we get a better description of the 
network topology and end node hardware?

Is this network a 3 node physical dumb-bell, or is this in Netem or is this 
something more complicated?
What is the inherient delay path of this network?  Aka, what is D in the BDP, 
given the near saturation and the small window my guess is this is a simple 3 
node dumb bell, but would like confirmation of that.
