Re: Increase tcp initial window



No, let's not.

John Hawkinson is correct. Imagine this in the presence of routers which 
implement RED - it would not (and should not) win. Absent RED, tragedy of the 
commons ensues (and, possibly, "congestion collapse" - google that and Nagle's 
RFC on gateways with infinite storage for enlightening historical perspective).
