Re: NetBSD TCP Congestion Control Configuration

["Mukosi Mukwevho" <mukosi%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi Ignatios;

I had a look on man sysctl(7) there is no setting to switch slow-start
off? Actually, there are no sysctl settings to switch congestion
control off completely.
Any suggestions on this?

Regards,
Abraham
