I think the default initial window of two segments both for local and
non-local connections is the best option now. Larger initial windows of
three and four segments are still in experimental stage and should not be
widely deployed yet (although it is nice to play with them in different
environme
If there are no strong opinions supporting this feature, should we then
ask the developers to set the default inital window to two segments when
talking to local IPs? It would help to keep the image of FreeBSD as a
'conformant system' with regard to TCP specs.

Hi folks,
At the last IETF meeting there were some debates around FreeBSD using a
16-KB initial congestion window in TCP when destination IP address is from
the local subnet. Does anybody remember when it was introduced into the
code and what kind of ideas were behind?
Some reasons were given
