Greetings Murari, In the C-TCP specification, it is probably also worth pointing out that the formula for dwnd only applies if dwnd is measured in *packets*, not bytes. Most RFCs seem to implicitly assume that the variable cwnd refers to the number of bytes (even though it is incremented in multiples of MSS). For most flow control, this makes no difference. However, dwnd = 1 packet => dwnd^0.75 = 1 dwnd = 1500 bytes => dwnd^0.75 = 241 and so increase rule (3) in draft-sridharan-tcpm-ctcp-01.txt is much more aggressive when dwnd is measured in packets.
