However, there is a bug that during the slow-start if packet retransmission occurs, the link will enter the fast-recovery phase, set its window to the 'ssthresh' which is never less than 300, so the link window suddenly increases to that limit instead of decreasing. Consequently, two issues have been observed: - For broadcast-link: it can leave a gap between the link queues that a new packet will be inserted and sent before the previous ones, i.e. not in-order. - For unicast: the algorithm does not work as expected, the link window jumps to the slow-start threshold whereas packet retransmission occurs. This commit fixes the issues by avoiding such the link window increase, but still decreasing if the 'ssthresh' is lowered.
