Davem, there is _no_ research how this huge IW will behave in environments
with a small BDP. Belief it or not, but there are networks out there with a
BDP similar to ~1980. Why for heaven's sake should this work in these
environments? There are only _two_ extensive analysis one from Cherry and
and one from Ilpo. Both analysis focus on current mainstream BDP. I started
to setup a ns-2 environment but due to lack of time I am a little bit
behind schedule. Anyway, why not make this a tunable per route knob so that
it is easier to fix things, e.g. set IW back to 3.
