Subject: Automatic TCP send socker buffer sizing

This is a patch adding automatic TCP send socket buffer sizing.  Normally
the socket buffers are static (either derived from global defaults or set
with setsockopt) and do not adapt to real network conditions.  Two things
happen: a) your socket buffers are too small and you can't reach the full
potential of the network between both hosts; b) your socket buffers are
too big and you waste a lot of kernel memory for data just sitting around.

With automatic TCP send socket buffers we can start with a small buffer
and quickly grow it in parallel with the TCP congestion window to match
real network conditions.

FreeBSD has a default 32K send socket buffer.  This supports a maximal
transfer rate of only slightly more than 2Mbit/s on a 100ms RTT trans-
continental link.  Or at 200ms just above 1Mbit/s.  With TCP send buffer
auto scaling and the default values below it supports 20Mbit/s at 100ms
and 10Mbit/s at 200ms.  That's an improvement of factor 10, or 1000%.

New sysctl's are:

 net.inet.tcp.sndbuf_auto=1     (enabled)
 net.inet.tcp.sndbuf_inc=8192   (8K, step size)
 net.inet.tcp.sndbuf_max=262144 (256K, growth limit)

The patch is available here:

 http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/tcp_auto_sndbuf-20061116.diff

Any testers, especially with busy FTP servers, are very welcome.

A RELENG_6 version (for FreeBSD 6.x) of the patch is here:

 http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/tcp_auto_sndbuf-20061116-RELENG_6.diff

Just apply this patch and recompile your kernel.  It is activated by default.
Be aware that all socket buffer sizing events get logged to syslog under
LOG_DEBUG.  This may affect overall system performance and you may want to
disable logging to disk of this in syslogd.conf.
