TCP window scaling and broken routers

With kernel 2.6.17.13 or higher, you can also do:

THEIR_IP=1.2.3.4
MY_GATEWAY=5.6.7.8

ip route add $THEIR_IP/32 via $MY_GATEWAY window 65535

which only limits window scaling for that destination without interfering with your other connections.

[It has been a while since the original article, but this still shows up first in Google when searching for "linux tcp window scaling broken router", so perhaps this will help someone.]
