Window size is of course critical, but it turns out that MTU also impacts
rates (as much as 33%, see below):
MSS 0.7
Rate = ----- * -------
RTT (P)**0.5
MSS = Maximum Segment Size
RTT = Round Trip Time
P = packet loss
So am I to understand that with 0 packetloss I get infinite rate? And TCP
window size doesn't affect the rate?
I am quite confused by this statement. Yes, under congestion larger MSS is
better, but without congestion I don't see where it would differ apart
from the interrupt load I mentioned earlier?
