[tcpm] Review of hystartplusplus-01

[" Ilpo Järvinen " <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

I've just read through the HyStart++ draft v01. Two comments:

I find using variable named "Eta" and related constants (MIN/MAX_ETA) 
somewhat strange as to me ETA reads "estimated time of arrival" which in 
the context didn't seem to make much of a sense.

Then there is a major contradiction within the draft:

if (currentRoundMinRTT >= (lastRoundMinRTT + Eta))
               ssthresh = cwnd
               exit slow start and enter LSS

  "HyStart++ ends when cwnd exceeds ssthresh or when congestion is
   observed."

...ssthresh is set to cwnd when exiting slow start and LSS is entered as 
per the algorithm but the quoted sentence tells that LSS will be 
terminated as soon as cwnd grows any?
