1024 * 8 = 8192
This is a common TCP window default. Windows95, NT, Sun Solaris
(they are either 8192 or 16284 by default), etc use it. Its
calculated from the latency of the link * the bandwidth of the link
with a factoring of the link's error rate. Sometimes 8192 is too
large or too small. But.. I've always found that 8192 is critical
for good performing ethernet links and very helpful for strong PPP
links.
You can read up about this in the RFCs:
RFC 1106 - High Latency WAN links - Section 4.1

RFC 793 - Transmission Control Protocol
