I'll ask my Emily Litella question of the day and inquire as to why that would

The slightly less Emily Litella-esque question is why an appliction with a 
desire to know it could send more than 16K at one time wouldn't have either 
asked via its install docs to have the minimum tweaked (certainly if one is 
already tweaking routes...), or "gone all the way" and made an explicit 
setsockopt(SO_SNDBUF) call?  We are in a realm of applications for which there 
was a proposal to allow them to pick their own initcwnd right?  Having them pick 
an SO_SNDBUF size would seem to be no more to ask.

sendbuf_init = max(tcp_mem,initcwnd)?
