We have performed extensive tests mapping the effect of the patch you
commented on some months ago. Since then, the only change was the one you
requested of switching tcp_fackets_out() with tcp_dupack_heurestics().
After inspecting the code, I believed the effect should be equal to the
previous, only making considerations for SACK and FACK availability.
Please tell if this will break the intended effect, and I will modify the
patch accordingly.

Graphs from our tests of the original patch can be found at the location
linked to below. I have tested the new one for functionality, but have
not et performed tests on this scope as the changes were minor. I will, of
course, fix the function rename in the next iteration. Sorry for that.
