Well, my sender is a 32bit kernel, so tcp_wmem[2] was less than
1Mbytes..

$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem
4096	16384	903780

Socket cwnd is then capped to ~400 with TSO=off, and ~1500 with TSO=on


TSO off, a 1500 bytes frame now has truesize=2048+192, while in previous
kernel it had truesize=1500+192 before linux 3.2

(903780/2240 = 403)

(TSO permits a better truesize/len ratio, close to 1)

With 50ms RTT, 400 packets in flight means no more than 90Mbit/s
