No, it's the initial congestion window; I'm not quite sure where this comes from. And yes it went through a long process with the IETF first.

Sorry for creating any confusion. I see on git.kernel.org that both patches have made it in, which is good news. However, I believe that the increase to the initial congestion window is still a draft, not an RFC.
