I am posting this again. I would really appreciate if somebody can answer this. I am beating myself with no success in getting to the root of this mystery. TCP still stays in slow start even though snd_cwnd >= snd_ssthresh and moves to CA only when there has been a packet loss. Can anybody confirm this?.
Thanks in advance.
