Hi,

Just wanted to test the waters, if there is any appetite to approve a patch=
 that prevents cwnd to collapse down to 1 after loss recovery, under certai=
n circumstance.

When flightsize becomes very small, and cwnd ends up at 1x MSS, the continu=
ation of the session is gated with a 50:50 change by the clients delayed AC=
K timeout.

The change in RFC6582 is to limit cwnd to only collapse down to 2x MSS, whi=
ch is a straight-forward 1-line change in the modular CC methods.

That change allows FreeBSD to claim conformance with RFC6582.


Any comments?
