The receive buffer autoscaling for TCP is based on a linear growth, which

is acceptable in the congestion avoidance phase, but not during slow start.
The MTU is is also not taken into account.
Use a method instead, which is based on exponential growth working also in
slow start and being independent from the MTU.

This is joint work with rrs@.

* The criteria to step up the receive buffer one notch are:
* 1. Application has not set receive buffer size with
* SO_RCVBUF. Setting SO_RCVBUF clears SB_AUTOSIZE.
* 2. the number of bytes received during the time it takes
* one timestamp to be reflected back to us (the RTT);
* 3. received bytes per RTT is within seven eighth of the
* current socket buffer size;
* 4. receive buffer size has not hit maximal automatic size;
* 2. the number of bytes received during 1/2 of an sRTT
* is at least 3/8 of the current socket buffer size.
* 3. receive buffer size has not hit maximal automatic size;
*
* This algorithm does one step per RTT at most and only if
* If all of the criteria are met we increaset the socket buffer
* by a 1/2 (bounded by the max). This allows us to keep ahead
* of slow-start but also makes it so our peer never gets limited
* by our rwnd which we then open up causing a burst.
*
* This algorithm does two steps per RTT at most and only if
* we receive a bulk stream w/o packet losses or reorderings.
* Shrinking the buffer during idle times is not necessary as
* it doesn't consume any memory when idle.
