I just felt like sharing this with ICCRG, if someone isn't on the TCPM list….

> This document proposes an experiment to increase the permitted TCP
> initial window (IW) from between 2 and 4 segments, as specified in
> RFC 3390, to 10 segments with a fallback to the existing
> recommendation when performance issues are detected.  It discusses the
> motivation behind the increase, the advantages and disadvantages of
> the higher initial window, and presents results from several large-scale
> experiments showing that the higher initial window improves the
> overall performance of many web services without resulting in a
> congestion collapse.  The document closes with a discussion of usage
> and deployment for further experimental purposes recommended by the
> IETF TCP Maintenance and Minor Extensions (TCPM) working group.
