    _______________________________________________________

Details:

There are some things unclear to me in the value of ssthresh:

- it is set to "pcb->mss * 10" when connecting (for client connections): why
10 * MSS?

- it is set to *the full snd_wnd" in tcp_listen_input() (for server
connections)

- thus it is different for server/client

- in addition, for server connections, the value is wrong if the remote host
supports window scaling but we don't: ssthresh is just set on the (unscaled)
window value passed in the SYN and never changed (unless there are
retransmissions, of course)
