Indeed, 10% average improvement is impressive.

Is there a way to tease-out what the "typical" cwnd becomes in both  
the base and exp cases?  Say from those services with larger  
responses? Does it become 8*MSS?  12*MSS etc?  That would help show  
how "close to the edge" 10 segments might be yes?

WRT the retransmissions (table 7 in the paper), is it safe to ass-u-me  
that the increase in retransmissions means a corresponding increase in  
"Internet" bandwidth consumed to deliver the given quantity of data?
