Since cwnd will never be more than SO_SNDBUF, apart from complications
getting the rtt, I think one can probably do something close to that
from user space with setsockopt(SO_SNDBUF). I'm ass-u-me-ing that
getsockopt(TCP_MAXSEG) will track PTMU, but I'm not sure if one can get
the RTT portably - I think a getsockopt(TCP_INFO) under Linux will get
the RTT, but don't know about other stacks. (Looks like Linux will also
return a pmtu value).
