--- Comment #2 from Richard Scheffenegger <srichard@netapp.com> ---
After further investigation, this issue is more complex. cwnd does in fact =
not
grow when the transmission is rwnd limited. However, 20 sec prior to these =
two
burst events, during slow start, the client already signaled a large rwnd (=
at
least as large as when the bursts happen). And no losses occured, so cwnd d=
id
probably grow to the large rwnd (or very close to is) during the initial sl=
ow
start. Then, the client reduced rwnd to 1/2 or 1/3 of that initial value, a=
nd
cwnd never decays (RTT is 1ms with empty buffers, and 40ms with full buffer=
s;
20 sec are eons in any case).=20

So at the time of these graphs, cwnd has no longer any valid information ab=
out
the state of the network, but is nevertheless used as such.

Guess RFC7661 (with substituting "no transmissions" with "transmission rate=
 <
cwnd") with it's many-rtt long decay would adress this particular issue.

Can provide xpl file (but not original trace) of the entire session.
