This would be reasonable, but if we have a shorter interval, this means
we could drop packets of the long RTT flow sooner than expected.

Thats because the drop_next value is setup on the previous packet, and
not based on the 'next packet'

Re-evaluating drop_next at the right time would need more cpu cycles.
