    tcp: RFC2988bis + taking RTT sample from 3WHS for the passive open side · 9ad7c049
    Jerry Chu authored
    This patch lowers the default initRTO from 3secs to 1sec per
    RFC2988bis. It falls back to 3secs if the SYN or SYN-ACK packet
    has been retransmitted, AND the TCP timestamp option is not on.
    
    It also adds support to take RTT sample during 3WHS on the passive
    open side, just like its active open counterpart, and uses it, if
    valid, to seed the initRTO for the data transmission phase.
    
    The patch also resets ssthresh to its initial default at the
    beginning of the data transmission phase, and reduces cwnd to 1 if
    there has been MORE THAN ONE retransmission during 3WHS per RFC5681.
