I have just checked - the place it is actually used is indeed a bit later in the
change set, in receiver RTT sampling, it is here:
        http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01868.html

+       if (hcrx->ccid3hcrx_rtt == 0) {
+               DCCP_WARN("No RTT estimate available, using fallback RTT\n");
+               hcrx->ccid3hcrx_rtt = DCCP_FALLBACK_RTT;
        }

But this patch is also generic: RFC 4340 says that this value (which agrees with
TCP-like values) can be used wherever there is no fallback.
