The question was, do you see this as a problem of the new rwnd algorithm?
If yes, how exactly? The algorithm actually has no preference to any amount of data.
It was fine-tuned before to serve as congestion control algorithm, but this should
be located elsewhere. Perhaps, indeed, a re-use of congestion control modules from
TCP would be possible...
