  That's not how it works. TCP has mechanisms for dealing with congested
links. There is *always* some algorithm present in TCP stack which
manipulates connection parameters to not overflow links. By default its
reno (or cubic), but Linux kernel provides several others to *choose*
from. This isn't a question of turning limiting ON or OFF.

 Anyway, after some more reading I see that TCP Low Priority is
sender-side algorithm. I don not know if sending ACKs is impacted by
congestion algorithms, and this is only thing for client to modify.
