Re: [PATCH] RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open side

Hello Jerry

* Jerry Chu | 2011-06-08 11:04:22 [-0700]:

+       /* Cut cwnd down to 1 per RFC5681 if SYN or SYN-ACK has been
+        * retransmitted. In light of RFC2988bis' more aggressive 1sec

+        */
+       if (tp->total_retrans > 1)
+               tp->snd_cwnd = 1;
+       else
+               tp->snd_cwnd = tcp_init_cwnd(tp, dst);

Is this behavior somewhere documented? In RFC2988bis I cannot find something
similar.
