My patch is not MPI specific. It only avoid you to break rfc1122. This is at least my interpretation of rfc1122 and I don't know of more uptodate specs that allow you to delay the ack for 2*MMS data.
BTW, since I am using my new patch the TCP/IP performances in my slow link seems doubled. But maybe it's only that it's been increased the bandwith somewhere else. I didn't tried yet to remove the patch and see if I was continuing to go so fast. Note: some time ago I added a sysctl to kill delacks completly and such thing was improving iteractive response too but it was harming long donwloads since the TX line was busy sending tons of acks. With my new patch instead the download performances are good as before.
