How can I set the initial window size in TCP? (i.e how many segments to to during start up (slow start)?)


That would be the initial _congestion_ window size, and I'm not sure
that linux has a way to alter that, it more or less follows the 4380
bytes or 2 (maybe three) segments logic from one of the RFC's.

Are you looking to increase or decrease? And which version and distro
are you running?

I am using debian distribution with 2.4 kernel...and I want both to increase or decrease it...

Just a minute - the receiving end determines its TCP window size (in both directions).
