|  
|  Why is the second part of the comment wrong?
|  
|  RFC 3448, 4.4:
|  
|  4.4.  Expiration of nofeedback timer
|  
|     If the nofeedback timer expires, the sender should perform the
|     following actions:
|  
|     1) Cut the sending rate in half.  If the sender has received feedback
|        from the receiver, this is done by modifying the sender's cached
|        copy of X_recv (the receive rate).  Because the sending rate is
|        limited to at most twice X_recv, modifying X_recv limits the
|        current sending rate, but allows the sender to slow-start,
|        doubling its sending rate each RTT, if feedback messages resume
|        reporting no losses.
|  
|  If the sending rate is halved, doesn't it implies the inter packet
|  interval is doubled?
Yes that is right. Ian, I apologise - you were correct in this comment. 
Will re-send an update.
