Thanks. If my purpose is to transfer data as fast as possible,
it would be a good solution. But what I want to do now is to observe
TCP behaviors in the slow start phase after retransmission timeouts.
So, I think my environment is quite good :-) for me.

Sorry, actually, I always set net.inet.tcp.inflight_enable to zero
both on DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD in my experiences (I know it is zero
on DragonFlyBSD by default, but I want to make it sure), because
unfortunately it reduces throughput in my experiences in an unexpected
way.
