Support for TCP-Illinois

Support for TCP-Illinois would be a plus, although I don't know that BT has packet loss issues as such. For people with individual connections with HOPS > 15 it might be useful.

TCP-Illinois is a variant of TCP congestion control protocol, developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It is especially targeted at high-speed, long-distance networks. A sender side modification to the standard TCP congestion control algorithm, it achieves a higher average throughput than the standard TCP, allocates the network resource fairly as the standard TCP, is compatible with the standard TCP, and provides incentives for TCP users to switch.

They're available in XP pre SP2, Windows server 2003 and 2008, and anything earlier than XP according to MSDN (obviously, that doesn't mean they actually are)

On XP SP2/3 and Vista they're pretty much broken but then you could still go with "TCP over UDP" which adds a couple of bytes overhead (but since no one is going to actually implement this it doesn't matter at all)
