It's more than that. We have also conducted extensive, large scale
experiments covering
all BDP/RTT combinations and the result was documented in details in a
SIGCOMM/CCR paper that can be found from a summary page

IW10 work.

You've seemed to get this backwards. Shouldn't we set the default for the normal
