[TCP]: Fix ratehalving with bidirectional flows
Actually, the ratehalving seems to work too well, as cwnd is reduced on every second ACK even though the packets in flight remains unchanged. Recoveries in a bidirectional flows suffer quite badly because of this, both NewReno and SACK are affected. After this patch, rate halving is performed for ACK only if packets in flight was supposedly changed too. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S.
