-tcp_max_ssthresh - INTEGER
- Limited Slow-Start for TCP with large congestion windows (cwnd) defined in

- by at most tcp_max_ssthresh segments, and by at least tcp_max_ssthresh/2
- segments per RTT when the cwnd is above tcp_max_ssthresh.
- If TCP connection increased cwnd to thousands (or tens of thousands) segments,
- and thousands of packets were being dropped during slow-start, you can set
- tcp_max_ssthresh to improve performance for new TCP connection.
