Versus the LoC, this is a high value change that improves TCP performance in common [, tail] loss situations. https://www.netbsd.org/~kbowling/tcp-rfc6298.patch Even on high latency links, 1s is a good long while and a spurious RTO may be profitable since links are generally less bandwidth constrained while latency is what it is if you are dealing with tail loss in a buffering scheme.
