...at the end of the tcp header, it's a tcp option. (I didn't
understood that the first time I read this email).
It might be good to disable all tcp optional headers..
Also there might be important to look at issues such has:
- mtu size
- tcp window
- set the don't fragment flag (this can offload the routers and
optimize the mtu for the whole connection path)
- use the BIC algorithm (from what I've read, that's my default choice
nowadays... but for some specific workload there might be better
algorithms)
