From d0b53f40977446fdf2460b14d4544d1375a3138d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2017 19:59:33 -0300 Subject: sctp: update order of adjustments of partial_bytes_acked and cwnd RFC4960 Errata 3.12 says RFC4960 is unclear about the order of adjustments applied to partial_bytes_acked and cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase, and that the actual order should be: partial_bytes_acked is reset to (partial_bytes_acked - cwnd). Next, cwnd is increased by MTU. We were first increasing cwnd, and then subtracting the new value pba, which leads to a different result as pba is smaller than what it should and could cause cwnd to not grow as much.
