I will try to get sysctls to turn off delayed ack and a reasonable
way to increase initial cwnd into 2.2/2.3 (reasonable for cwnd
should at least include a recompile, because otherwise it is too
easy for users to cause too much harm)

If you wish to make initial cwnd a sysctl or similar (and this might
be perfectly fine), please do two things before sending me a patch:

1) Make sure the RFCs do not explicitly forbid such a tunable.

2) If the RFCs specify lower and upper "acceptable" bounds, make
sure the sysctl hook enforces this.

Later,
