Without window scaling enabled, this is the largest window we can
use in order to interoperate with older TCP implementations that
used a signed 16-bit value to store the window value.  Any value
larger than 32767 would be considered negative by such implementations.

You should always have window scaling enabled.  You can't even fill a
cross-continent connection in the United States with that size of
window.
