Subject: [PATCH] tcp: add a sysctl to config the tcp_default_init_rwnd
The default initial rwnd is hardcoded to 10.
Now we allow it to be controlled via
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_default_init_rwnd
which limits the values from 3 to 100
This is somewhat needed because ipv6 routes are
autoconfigured by the kernel.
See "An Argument for Increasing TCP's Initial Congestion Window"
in https://developers.google.com/speed/articles/tcp_initcwnd_paper.pdf
