o Move the inflight sysctls to their own sub-tree under net.inet.tcp to be

more consistent with the other sysctls around it.

disable debugging by setting this variable to 0.
.It Va inflight_min
.It Va inflight.min
This puts a lower bound on the bandwidth-delay product window, in bytes.
A value of 1024 is typically used for debugging.
6000-16000 is more typical in a production installation.
Setting this value too low may result in
slow ramp-up times for bursty connections.
Setting this value too high effectively disables the algorithm.
.It Va inflight_max
.It Va inflight.max
This puts an upper bound on the bandwidth-delay product window, in bytes.
This value should not generally be modified, but may be used to set a
global per-connection limit on queued data, potentially allowing you to

The bandwidth-delay product algorithm requires a slightly larger window

This parameter determines the extra window in maximal packets / 10.

If this case occurs, you should first try reducing

and
.Va inflight_stab ,

Never use a value less than 5.
Reducing
.Va inflight_stab
.Va inflight.stab
can lead to upwards of a 20% underutilization of the link
as well as reducing the algorithm's ability to adapt to changing
situations and should only be done as a last resort.
