But there might be something very interesting on the opposite end change 
that is pointed out by this behavior, since one needs considerable amount 
of losses in the outstanding window to triggers long delays (the bug was 
that FRTO never fallback to go-back-n retransmissions, so one RTO was 
necessary per loss), like you found out there's slow progress made and the 
situation can resolve (by a big cumulative ACK once all losses are 
cleared). Would the receiver for some reason not accept the new data 
segment that FRTO sends after getting the ACK of the retransmissions,
the RTO loop would continue forever with FRTO bug (unless userland tears 
the connection down).
