I know the Internet has changed a bit since Slow Start was introduced
:-}

but my impression was that if you think you have a problem, sending
multiple packets into the network is not the right thing to so. You're
talking about sending single packets over multiple paths, but we don't
know how disjoint the paths are (so they may all traverse one link
somewhere on the way). Should we ignore this, or think about it?

Pasi, do you have a sense that we're talking about a recovery
mechanism that we use during Fast Recovery, or during RTO (to put
things in TCP-speak)?
