It's not 1998 any more, you've got multiple TCP streams, things like QUIC and other UDP based protocols, and of course good old fashioned window scaling which will go upto an 8gbit window, so as long as you've got an rtt under 300ms you'll be fine at 25gbit.

I thought window was pretty limited on modern OS?

You'll encounter other limitations, like processing 2 million 1500 byte packets a second, which is possible but you need to make sure you have the grunt to process and the right types of options in the kernel
