    Actually, RFC 2581 (the standard) allows for 1 or 2 segments in the
    initial window. RFC 2414 allows for 3 and 4 segment initial windows
    as an experimental (non-standard) change.

    And, soon the allowed initial cwnd will be 1--4 segments (with 3 and
    4 segment initial windows depending on segment size), per
    draft-ietf-tsvwg-initwin-04.txt which has been approved as a
    proposed standard by the IESG and is sitting in the RFC Editor's
    queue (http://www.rfc-editor.org/queue.html).
