As well as workarounds, both initial and maximum window sizes. For example:
RFC 3390
Title: Increasing TCP's Initial Window
Author(s): M. Allman, S. Floyd, C. Partridge

This document specifies an optional standard for TCP to increase the
permitted initial window from one or two segment(s) to roughly 4K
bytes, replacing RFC 2414. It discusses the advantages and
disadvantages of the higher initial window, and includes discussion of
experiments and simulations showing that the higher initial window
does not lead to congestion collapse. Finally, this document provides
guidance on implementation issues.
