Hi,
anybody interested in implementing this for FreeBSD?

Title : HighSpeed TCP for Large Congestion Windows
Author(s) : S. Floyd
Filename : draft-floyd-tcp-highspeed-00.txt,.ps
Pages : 16
Date : 13-Jun-02
This document proposes HighSpeed TCP, a modification to TCP's
congestion control mechanism for use with TCP connections with large
congestion windows. The congestion control mechanisms of the
current, Standard TCP constrains the congestion windows that can be
achieved by TCP in realistic environments. For example, for a
Standard TCP connection with 1500-byte packets and a 100 ms round-
trip time, achieving a steady-state throughput of 10 Gbps would
require an average congestion window of 83,333 segments, and a packet
drop rate of at most one congestion event every 5,000,000,000 packet
(or equivalently, at most one congestion event every 1 2/3 hours).
We do not consider this a realistic condition. To address this
limitation of TCP, this document proposes HighSpeed TCP, and solicits
experimentation and feedback from the wider community.
