Hi,

No, it’s just about flow completion time (“The actual transfer”) above being a 
function not only of the queue length, but also of the capacity the flow gets 
to use. Hence the push for a larger initial window.

Right - sorry for side-tracking.

I read them - I didn’t want to get into this debate, it was only a side comment 
about not all flows being limited, and there being some value in better 
capacity usage too.
