Kim, RTT is of course the reason why slow-start is more detrimental to
performance on high-speed geo satellite links. The problem I have is, how
would you know the RTT at connection start? Are you thinking about
persistent TCP connection information ("we have talked to this host before
and it is 500ms away")? Hmm, I suppose the three-way handshake could
provide a measurement, but is it reliable enough?
