from Larry Peterson &co. at Arizona:
- Header prediction for ACKs did not exclude Fast Retransmit/Recovery.
- srtt calculation tended to get ``stuck'' and could never decrease
when below 8. It still can't, but the scaling factors are adjusted
so that this artifact does not cause as bad an effect on the RTO
value as it used to.
The paper also points out the incr/8 error that has been long since fixed,
and the problems with ACKing frequency resulting from the use of options
which I suspect to be fixed already as well (as part of the T/TCP work).
