Our first draft proposal to raise the initial congestion window was submitted
a couple of days ago and is available at

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-hkchu-tcpm-initcwnd-00.txt

A paper with the title "An Argument for Increasing TCP’s Initial Congestion
Window" detailing our large scale experiments will soon be available at

http://code.google.com/speed/articles/tcp_initcwnd_paper.pdf
(The link is not there yet due to a last minute snag. Hopefully it
will be fixed asap.)

Comments are welcome.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

Title : Increasing TCP's Initial Window
Author(s) : J. Chu, et al.
Filename : draft-hkchu-tcpm-initcwnd-00.txt
Pages : 16
Date : 2010-02-28

This document proposes an increase in the permitted TCP initial
window (IW) from between 2 and 4 segments, as specified in RFC 3390,
to 10 segments. 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 risking congestion collapse. Finally, it
outlines a list of concerns to be addressed in future tests.
