Ah, so, I see that.  But, it is only more aggressive if the receiver
transmits more ACK packets than segments being ACKed (i.e., cwnd
segments), right?  (E.g., one can envision this happening in
bi-directional transfers.)

In any case, the document needs cleaned up.  Sorry about all the
confusion. 

Thanks!
