Stephen Hemminger a357dde9df [TCP] illinois: Incorrect beta usage
Lachlan Andrew observed that my TCP-Illinois implementation uses the
beta value incorrectly:
  The parameter  beta  in the paper specifies the amount to decrease
  *by*:  that is, on loss,
     W <-  W -  beta*W
  but in   tcp_illinois_ssthresh() uses  beta  as the amount
  to decrease  *to*: W <- beta*W

This bug makes the Linux TCP-Illinois get less-aggressive on uncongested network,
hurting performance. Note: since the base beta value is .5, it has no
impact on a congested network.
