Download: tcp_westwood_2.6.16.18_fixes.patch

This patch fixes a bug in the first bandwidth estimation and adds some feature and improvements:

• RTT_min is now updated each time a timeout event occurs (in order to cope with hard handovers in wireless scenarios)
• The bandwidth estimate filter is now initialized with the first bandwidth sample in order to have better performances in the case of small file transfers.
