[TCP]: H-TCP maxRTT estimation at startup
Small patch to H-TCP from Douglas Leith. Fix estimation of maxRTT. The original code ignores rtt measurements during slow start (via the check tp->snd_ssthresh < 0xFFFF) yet this is probably a good time to try to estimate max rtt as delayed acking is disabled and slow start will only exit on a loss which presumably corresponds to a maxrtt measurement. Second, the original code (via the check htcp_ccount(ca) > 3) ignores rtt data during what it estimates to be the first 3 round-trip times. This seems like an unnecessary check now that the RCV timestamp are no longer used for rtt estimation. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
