In my tests with either NewReno at high-BDP network settings
(300Kbit/s, 120ms delay, BDP = 3200 packets), we always go into this
confused mode.
It will always upon a drop go to a point between the one-half and
one-quarter of the original cwnd, but then, due to performance problems
at that point the queue is filled and lots of packets are getting lost
in bursts after I disabled throttling, with throttling it goes even
below one quarter.
If I understand you correctly this check (that I changed) is correct and
should not be changed but rather that the bug is elsewhere. I'll give it
another look when I have some more time.
