Another value that could be added to the tcp information cached
in the routing table is the initial congestion window 
(max = max of slowstart_flightsize segments).  
It will help speed up short transfers which have experienced
low latency or loss, which is something that could also be 
cached.

Currently the slowstart_flightsize will be used for all
connections.
