That's what TCP does in congestion avoidance mode (ie when cwind >
ssthresh) but it's less aggressive than what TCP does in slow start
mode, so connections will take longer to reach full speed and to return
to full speed after a packet loss. You might not get great link
utilisation but it seems like a good compromise because it avoids the
complexity of calculating ssthresh.

Cheers,
Michael
