I am not sure. I think it is, but I went ahead and put in the command
manually. 

Here is more of the configuration to do with TCP information.

ip tcp selective-ack
ip tcp window-size 65535
ip tcp synwait-time 10
ip tcp path-mtu-discovery

(or something like that) MTU is unlikely an issue.  There could be a
forwarding bug which causes drops dependent on packet size, though.
