[TCP] illinois: Incorrect beta usage
Lachlan Andrew observed that my TCP-Illinois implementation uses the
beta value incorrectly:
The parameter beta in the paper specifies the amount to decrease
*by*: that is, on loss,
W <- W - beta*W
but in tcp_illinois_ssthresh() uses beta as the amount
to decrease *to*: W <- beta*W
This bug makes the Linux TCP-Illinois get less-aggressive on uncongested network,
hurting performance. Note: since the base beta value is .5, it has no
impact on a congested network.
