Every now and then (once we detect some losses) snd_ssthresh is set to a 
halved flightsize as given by, well, you know those standards that say 
something about it :-). So I (like John) seem to somewhat miss the point 
of your question here.

Or did you perhaps refer to rcv_ssthresh (which I wouldn't ever call 
to with a plain "ssthresh")?
