Re: [e2e] opening multiple TCP connections getting popular

Outside of other information, I've always used a default window scaling factor of 4, because that gives you the potential for a 1GB window and the granularity of the window is only 16 bytes. If you don't negotiate window scaling up front, you are stuck with a 64K maximum window for the duration of the connection. Besides, windows have always been updated on a coarse granularity, due to Silly Window Syndrome avoidance.
