Subject: Fix retransmission timeout calculation.
X-Git-Url: https://git.meshlink.io/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eb85ec4ae5f32102430e0622e3855aaba110c032;p=utcp

Fix retransmission timeout calculation.

The RTO calculation was missing a factor 4 multiplication of the
RTT variance, which caused it to set the RTO to a much lower value than
specified by RFC 6298. This would result in more retranmissions and a
lower throughput.
