Subject: Re: [PATCH] tcp: Increase the initial congestion window to 10.

It would perhaps be useful to change receiver advertized window to include 
some extra segs initially. It should be >= IW + peer's dupThresh-1 as 
otherwise limited transmit won't work for the initial window because we 
won't open more receiver window with dupacks (IIRC, I suppose Jerry might 
be able to correct me right away if I'm wrong and we open window with 
dupacks too?).  I think initial receiver window code used to have some 
surplus but it was broken by the rfc3390-func conversion (against my 
advice on how to do the conversion).
