I was thinking of suggesting this (delaying ACKs to avoid cwnd
increase), but doesn't that simply increase the RTT and/or RTT
variance, and basically do the same thing we're trying to avoid? I
suppose you could delay a bit, and then drop some earlier ACKs in case
the sender only increases cwnd per ACK (and not by the number of
segments the ACK covers), but that per-ACK behavior just seems like a
bug to me.
