关于 TCP window size

How many of you have notice that no matter you have a 100 Mb line， you only get near 2 Mbps, well that is because the TCP window size is only of 32 kB or 64 kB on Linux (depends
on distribution) and 8 kB on M$ Windows.

The TCP window size is the amount of data that will be send on aconnection before a host stops and waits for an acknowledgment. This is used by TCP to prevent congestion.

Ideally it should be:

  Window size = Bandwidth x round trip time

#cd /proc/sys/net/core
#ls
message_burst    netdev_max_backlog    rmem_default    wmem_default
message_cost    optmem_max    rmem_max    wmem_max
-------
(The secret are on these files)
/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default   - default receive window
/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max       - maximum receive window
/proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default  - default send window
/proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max      - maximum send window
