I see! Seems, you spotted a real problem. I missed this.

I feel we should add a trigger stopping such "fast" :-) restransmit
when cwnd falls low. Maybe, the same <cwnd/4 is good criterium.
I need to think, the situation is really weird.

Could you, please, prepare a demo pseudo-tcpdump with your simulator?

Come up! :-)
