How BDP suggests a receive window of 750k ? If BDP _is_ 750k, then 3.8 MB receive window is not insane, it depends on the amount of drops and how fast you want to recover from drops. 1MB would be to small as a matter of fact. _______________________________________________ Bloat mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/bloat
