You shouldn't need to iterate through the list, since i_mean is just
i_tot/w_tot, and w_tot is a constant. You do need to divide, though.
If it makes no difference to you I'd recommend going with the simpler version
-- the logic in dccp_li_hist_recalc_recalcloss is difficult to follow; I
wouldn't want to be on the hook for its correctness ;)
Also, the weights in dccp_li_hist_w appear to be wrong. They should be 5, 5,
5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, not 4,4,4,4,3,2,1,1, according to rfc3448.

Don't you still need to iterate through each element of the list then
and also do some divisions? This becomes expensive quickly if done for
every packet. With my code for example if you are running at 1% loss
then you will only recalculate roughly every 100 packets and only then
if you haven't had a loss.
I would like to change the loss interval linked list to a fixed size 8
element array as we're not changing the size of the linked list at any
time so it is very inefficient (probably a text book case of when not
to use a linked list!!)
