[e2e] TCP slow start and maximum segment size

Hi,

I checked all the RFCs mentioned as well as RFC 1122,
RFC 2001 but none of them give a value for slow start
threshold.  The only value I have found is one in an
example by Stevens of 65535 bytes.  Is this the
default value?  Or do implementations on Sun OS, Free
BSD, Windows etc use different values?  Or does it
depend on the TCP flavor?

Regards,
Srinivas
