TCP initial congestion window (slow-start)

I have noticed that the initial congestion window in my traces is 8920bytes~=6*1448. rfc3390 states the initial cwand should be max 4000 bytes(around 3*1448). At first i thought it might be because i'm running my server on mac os x, so apple might have modified the tcp stack. Therefore I tried...

NAME

     cc_hd -- HD Congestion Control Algorithm

DESCRIPTION

     The HD congestion control algorithm is an implementation of the Hamilton Institute's delay-based congestion control which aims to keep net-
     work queuing delays below a particular threshold (queue_threshold).

     HD probabilistically reduces the congestion window (cwnd) based on its estimate of the network queuing delay.  The probability of reducing
     cwnd is zero at hd_qmin or less, rising to a maximum at queue_threshold, and then back to zero at the maximum queuing delay.

     Loss-based congestion control algorithms such as NewReno probe for network capacity by filling queues until there is a packet loss.  HD com-
     petes with loss-based congestion control algorithms by allowing its probability of reducing cwnd to drop from a maximum at queue_threshold to
     be zero at the maximum queuing delay.  This has been shown to work well when the bottleneck link is highly multiplexed.

MIB Variables
     The algorithm exposes the following tunable variables in the net.inet.tcp.cc.hd branch of the sysctl(3) MIB:

     queue_threshold  Queueing congestion threshold (qth) in ticks.  Default is 20.

     pmax	      Per packet maximum backoff probability as a percentage.  Default is 5.

     qmin	      Minimum queuing delay threshold (qmin) in ticks.	Default is 5.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

     Development and testing of this software were made possible in part by grants from the FreeBSD Foundation and Cisco University Research Pro-
     gram Fund at Community Foundation Silicon Valley.

FUTURE WORK

     The Hamilton Institute have recently made some improvements to the algorithm implemented by this module and have called it Coexistent-TCP (C-
     TCP).  The improvements should be evaluated and potentially incorporated into this module.

HISTORY

     The cc_hd congestion control module first appeared in FreeBSD 9.0.

     The module was first released in 2010 by David Hayes whilst working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne University of Technology's
     Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne, Australia.	More details are available at:
