It appears that the first data packet sent after exiting the
idleness state will determine the receiver to respond with a feedback, containing a quite low value of X_recv (the number of bytes received is divided by the entire duration of the idleness period, or the duration since the last feedback packet). > >
Haaaa - this confuses me - from what I understood is that, since there was no packets received during the idle time, the receiver would send a feedback when it receives the first packet after a silence period. So that means the X_recv rate would be one packet per the no. of RTTs it was idle? This means the send rate would be minimum 1 packet per RTT based on RFC 3448.
