RFC3742: limited slow start
See http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3742.txt
Signed-off-by: Angelo P. Castellani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
---
To allow code reutilization I've added the limited slow start procedure
as an exported symbol of linux tcp congestion control.
On large BDP networks canonical slow start should be avoided because it
requires large packet losses to converge, whereas at lower BDPs slow
start and limited slow start are identical. Large BDP is defined through
the max_ssthresh variable.
I think limited slow start could safely replace the canonical slow start
procedure in Linux.

p.s.: in the attached patch is added an exported function currently used
only by YeAH TCP
