Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] net: TCP thin linear timeouts

Just how thin can a thin stream be when a thin stream is found thin? (to the 
cadence of "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?")

Does a stream get so thin that a user's send could not be split into four, 
sub-MSS TCP segments?
