The following errata report has been verified for RFC3390,
"Increasing TCP's Initial Window".

You may review the report below and at:

--------------------------------------
Status: Verified
Type: Technical

Reported by: Nikolai Malykh <nmalykh@gmail.com>

Section: 8.1

Original Text
-------------
   A second set of experiments explored TCP performance over dialup
   modem links.  In experiments over a 28.8 bps dialup channel [All97a,
   AHO98], a four-segment initial window decreased the transfer time of
   a 16KB file by roughly 10%, with no accompanying increase in the drop
   rate.  A simulation study [RFC2416] investigated the effects of using
   a larger initial window on a host connected by a slow modem link and
   a router with a 3 packet buffer.  The study concluded that for the
   scenario investigated, the use of larger initial windows was not
   harmful to TCP performance.
