Hi,
may i add a new sysctl variable,

	net.inet.tcp.local_slowstart

to control whether or not to do slowstart on local connections ?
FreeBSD now blasts a whole window at the beginning of a connection
when the remote party is on the same subnet.
This at times might cause problems. The above variable would
leave current behaviour unchanged if left to 0 (default), and
do the regular slowstart if set to 1

Would go to -current after the release i suppose.

	cheers
	luigi
