[PATCH 31/31] [CCID3]: Use initial RTT sample from SYN exchange

[PATCH 31/31] [CCID3]: Use initial RTT sample from SYN exchange

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

The patch follows the following recommendation made in an erratum to RFC 4342:

  "Senders MAY additionally make use of other available RTT measurements,
   including those from the initial Request-Response packet exchange."

It implements larger initial windows with regard to this inital RTT measurement,
using the mechanism suggested in draft-ietf-dccp-rfc3448bis, section 4.2.
