AFAIK with TCP/IP this is negotiable. There is no need for such small window...
QLwIP offers a window of 8760, but I have found that neither Windows nor Linux will exploit that in their standard configuration, at least not as long as their counterpart has 20 ms latency. Depending on the application, they send one, maximum two packets before they wait for ACK.
Somehow QLwIP must live with standard behaviour of other machines, you can not expect people to tune their TCP stacks.
