If the "restarted" connection does normal slow-start, one of two things
will happen yes? Either it will grow its cwnd to >= the receiver's
window, or it will have to stop before then because it triggered a
packet loss.
In the first case, seems it would have been just as good to let the
connection burst.
In the second case, is the effect on other connections really any better
than if the connection just started-up from where it was before?
BTW, is the RFC 2681? I looked that one up on ietf.org and the RFC by
that number was a different beast entirely - at least at a very quick
glance.
