[ns] Big Windows

[Karen Wang <karenw@luna.lcs.mit.edu>]

Hi ns-users. 

I would like to run sims with gigabit TCP connections (LFNs)  
and need my receiver window to be a lot bigger than the current
macro setting in tcp-sink.h of 1024 (packets I believe). 

        /* max window size */
        #define MWS 1024

What can I do if I want to set this really high, say to 8000,
since doing so causes compiling errors (about exceeding some 
allowable limit)?

Or is this simply a ridiculous idea (i.e. I'm missing something)? 
If so, I'd like to hear some opinions on the matter.

Thanks!
Karen
