Section 2 says:
the invariant is maintained so that the congestion window is increased during slow-start by at most max_ssthresh/2 MSS per round- trip time.
It should say:
the invariant is maintained that the congestion window is increased during slow-start by at most max_ssthresh MSS per round-trip time (and at least max_ssthresh/2 MSS per round-trip time).
Notes:
Later in Section 2:
it
takes:
log(max_ssthresh) + (cwnd - max_ssthresh)/(max_ssthresh/2)
round-trip times to reach a congestion window of cwnd, for a
congestion window greater than max_ssthresh.
Should be:
it
takes at least:
log(max_ssthresh) + (cwnd - max_ssthresh)/(max_ssthresh)
and at most:
log(max_ssthresh) + (cwnd - max_ssthresh)/(max_ssthresh/2)
round-trip times to reach a congestion window of cwnd, for a
congestion window greater than max_ssthresh.
Later in Section 2:
Thus, with Limited Slow-Start with max_ssthresh set to 100 MSS, it
would take 836 round-trip times to reach a congestion window of
83,000 packets,
