[DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending rates
This patch * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second) * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off The patch implements a revised strategy from http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.
