The FASTSTART feature prevents Onload from delaying ACKs during times when doing so might reduce performance. FASTSTART is enabled when a connection is new, following loss and after the connection has been idle for a while.

This option sets the number of bytes that must be ACKed by the receiver before the connection exits FASTSTART. Set to zero to prevent a connection entering FASTSTART after an idle period.
