[TIGGE #YSF-211129]: TCP tuning for TIGGE tuning

Doug,

Mark Uris and I (Mike Schmidt) worked together on setting appropriate 
values for dataproc.  I would need to know a little more about the 
operating system and revision on the system to be tuned?  Generally
speaking. most OS vendors ship with the default TCP window sizes in
the 48-64KB range.  For long distance, higher latency, and large
bandwidth connections, a better number is usually 256KB and up.
We've used 1MB window sizes safely on quite a few different operating
systems, however one has to look at the available free memory on a
given system to avoid over committing the memory resources.

Is a good starting point.
