I am generally supportive of this draft advancing, but do want to put
a word in about the application-limited issue Randall mentioned again
earlier in this thread. After the algorithm exits slow start, it seems
like it is likely to oscillate between:

(a) application-limited periods that cause low RTT samples and a
re-entry into slow start ("if current round's minRTT drops below
baseline indicating that HyStart exit was spurious"), and then

(b) non-application-limited periods that will cause a re-exit of
slow-start and re-entry into CSS.

It seems like the algorithm should either be adjusted to avoid this,
or this expected oscillation dynamic should be documented.

best regards,
neal
