Log:
  TCP newreno: improve after_idle ssthresh
  
  Adjust ssthresh in after_idle to the maximum of
  the prior ssthresh, or 3/4 of the prior cwnd. See
  RFC2861 section 2 for an in depth explanation for
  the rationale around this.
  
  As newreno is the default "fall-through" reaction,
  most tcp variants will benefit from this.
