Yes. This is what I use on my hobby sites and home network. About a decade ago I was using 16 when the default changed to 10 from 3. This is with fq_codel+cdg. Most prefer bbr for servers but I have my own quirky use cases. ip route change local 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo initcwnd 128 initrwnd 128 ip route | grep default | while read p; do ip route change $p initcwnd 32 initrwnd 32; done I would suggest performing significant testing from high latency connections before making changes on anything important. i.e. iperf3/nuttcp from a VM in another country. This would also be a good time to get numbers from different congestion control algorithms and default qdiscs. e.g. net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control and net.core.default_qdisc [1] [Edit] I should also add that changing these values may require different methods depending on the distribution.
