turned out not to be necessary; simply watching for MTU decreases (which
we already did) automagically eliminates all the cases we were trying to
protect against.
middle of a fully-open window. Also, keep track of how many retransmits
we do as a result of MTU discovery. This may actually do more work than
necessary, but it's an unusual condition...

to be no ill effects, and so far as Iknow none of the variables in
question depend on 16-bit wraparound behavior. (The sizes are in
many cases relics from when a PCB had to fit inside a 128-byte mbuf. PCBs
are no longer stored in that way, and the old structure would not have
fit, either.)
time ago. I left in Garrett's one, because his was in the 4.4-Lite-2
location, making any diffs just that little bit smaller.
I presume this choice means that netstat needs to be recompiled before
"netstat -s" will give a meaningful answer on tcp stats.
or ssthresh that we were able to use
tcp_var.h - declare tcpstat entries for above; declare tcp_{send,recv}space
in_rmx.c - fill in the MTU and pipe sizes with the defaults TCP would have
used anyway in the absence of values here

heuristic involving sequence numbers that broke when tcp_sendspace
was increased to 16k.
its connection parameters, we want to keep statistics on how often this
actually happens to see whether there is any work that needs to be done in
TCP itself.

NB: This has not had David's TCP ACK hack re-integrated. It is not clear
what the correct solution to this problem is, if any. If a better solution
doesn't pop up in response to this message, I'll put David's code back in
(or he's welcome to do so himself).
