Tom -

Sorry to keep bugging you, but this probably won't be the last time :-).

Yes, that is what you are supposed to do, I think...

The procedure Update_limits in section 4.4 Expiration of Nofeedback
Timer ends with the line:
	Recalculate X as in step (4) of Section 4.3;

Should that recalculation include oscillation reduction, if you do
oscillation reduction for the receiving a feedback packet case?  If it
doesn't, then you'll get a different effect for the same input data,
depending on whether it came from no feedback timeout or a received
feedback packet...


Yep, that is a good question.

I would *hope* that it doesn't make a big difference one way or another,
but I will rephrase the "Recalculate X" statement in Section 4.4 as follows:

       Recalculate X as in steps (4) and (5) of Section 4.3;

Step (5) of Section 4.3 is the following:

        If oscillation reduction is used, calculate the instantaneous
             transmit rate X_inst, following Section 4.5.

It probably matters most in the case of repeated nofeedback timers.
