There are several proposals on increasing the TCP initial congestion
window to a new hardcoded value and subsequent updates of this
hardcoded value.  This document explores the mechanism of dynamically
determining the potentially unbounded Initial Window.  This would
allow for the future growth after only one software upgrade of the
existing TCP stacks.  Also this would allow automatic adjustment of
the Initial Window size depending on the connectivity properties of
the particular Internet host, while minimizing the retransmissions
that result from overly optimistic initial congestion window
selection.
