Right now the low bound is the RTO that is lowbound to 200msec itself. If you decrease the lowbound of the rto then also the ato will decrease.
And unless you come up with some clever idea, if you implement decreasing the RTO lower bound you will crap out completely with all BSD'like TCP stacks where this is the smallest resolution of their TCP timers. Read the commentary in tcp_input.c about "HZ/5" etc.
I cannot allow this to change in the standard kernel unless a resolution to this issue is discovered.
