Subject: [PATCH] Add sysctl to set the advertised TCP initial receive window.
Add a sysctl, tcp_init_rcv_wnd, to set the TCP initial receive window
size advertised by passive and active TCP connections.
The current Linux TCP implementation limits the advertised TCP initial
receive window to the one proscribed by slow start. For short leave
TCP connections used for transaction type of traffic (i.e. http
requests), bounding the advertised TCP initial receive window results
in increased latency to complete the transaction. There exists
environments where strict adherence to using the TCP initial receive
window used by slow start is un-necessary.
The tcp_init_rcv_wnd sysctl allows increasing the TCP initial receive
window for all TCP connections or on a per TCP connection, allowing
for some of the TCP connection to advertise larger TCP receive window
than the ones bounded by slow start.
