From 76174004a0f19785a328f40388e87e982bbf69b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuchung Cheng Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2015 13:16:30 -0700 Subject: tcp: do not slow start when cwnd equals ssthresh In the original design slow start is only used to raise cwnd when cwnd is stricly below ssthresh. It makes little sense to slow start when cwnd == ssthresh: especially when hystart has set ssthresh in the initial ramp, or after recovery when cwnd resets to ssthresh. Not doing so will also help reduce the buffer bloat slightly.
