      dccp ccid-3: Bug-Fix - Zero RTT is possible · 3294f202
      Gerrit Renker authored
      In commit $(825de27d) (from 27th May, commit
      message `dccp ccid-3: Fix "t_ipi explosion" bug'), the CCID-3 window counter
      computation was fixed to cope with RTTs < 4 microseconds.
      
      Such RTTs can be found e.g. when running CCID-3 over loopback. The fix removed
      a check against RTT < 4, but introduced a divide-by-zero bug.
      
      All steady-state RTTs in DCCP are filtered using dccp_sample_rtt(), which
      ensures non-zero samples. However, a zero RTT is possible on initialisation,
      when there is no RTT sample from the Request/Response exchange.
      
      The fix is to use the fallback-RTT from RFC 4340, 3.4.
      
      This is also better than just fixing update_win_count() since it allows other
      parts of the code to always assume that the RTT is non-zero during the time
      that the CCID is used.
