I know this probably isn't Linux's fault, but I've noticed that a few dropped ACKs can REALLY slaughter network performance (he says, as he averages 253.6 bytes/s ftp'ing the latest mosaic over a 28.8 PPP link). Is there anything I can tune to possibly allow Linux faster recovery from transient net errors, at the expense of a few tenths of a kbyte/s under ideal conditions? Or might there be a real problem present here?
