When F-RTO has detected that a TCP retransmission timeout was spurious (i.e, the timeout would have been avoided had TCP set a
longer retransmission timeout), TCP has several options what to do
next. Possible values are:
0 Rate halving based; a smooth and conservative response,
results in halved cwnd and ssthresh after one RTT
1 Very conservative response; not recommended because even
though being valid, it interacts poorly with the rest of
Linux TCP, halves cwnd and ssthresh immediately
2 Aggressive response; undoes congestion control measures
that are now known to be unnecessary (ignoring the
possibility of a lost retransmission that would require
TCP to be more cautious), cwnd and ssthresh are restored
to the values prior timeout
Default: 0 (rate halving based)
source : Linux kernel source documentation.
Slow-start threshold (ssthresh) state variable is used to determine
whether the slow-start or congestion avoidance algorithm is used to
control data transmission.
