dccp ccid-2: prevent cwnd > Sequence Window
Add a check to prevent CCID-2 from increasing the cwnd greater than the Sequence Window. When the congestion window becomes bigger than the Sequence Window, CCID-2 will attempt to keep more data in the network than the DCCP Sequence Window code considers possible. This results in the Sequence Window code issuing a Sync, thereby inducing needless overhead. Further, if this occurs at the sender, CCID-2 will never detect the problem because the Acks it receives will indicate no losses. I have seen this cause a drop of 1/3rd in throughput for a connection. Also add code to adjust the Sequence Window to be about 5 times the number of packets in the network (RFC 4340, 7.5.2) and to adjust the Ack Ratio so that the remote Sequence Window will hold about 5 times the number of packets in the network. This allows the congestion window to increase correctly without being limited by the Sequence Window. Signed-off-by: Samuel Jero <sj323707@ohio.edu> Acked-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
