No, I mean 200 msec. If you make the RTO be any shorter than that,
you'll slow-start every packet you send to a machine which is running
delayed-ACK (i.e., almost everyone). The official standard RTO is I
think 500 msec, but this might be too high.
We have ``bad retransmit recovery'' which is supposed to detect some
instances of this and disable slow-start in that case.
