dccp tfrc/ccid-3: Computing Loss Rate from Loss Event Rate
This adds a function to take care of the following cases occurring in the computation of the Loss Rate p: * 1/(2^32-1) is mapped into 0% as per RFC 4342, 8.5; * 1/0 is mapped into the maximum of 100%; * we want to avoid that p = 1/x is rounded down to 0 when x is very large, since this means accidentally re-entering slow-start (indicated by p==0). In the last case, the minimum-resolution value of p is returned. Furthermore, a bug in ccid3_hc_rx_getsockopt is fixed (1/0 was mapped into ~0U), which now allows to consistently print the scaled p-values as printf("Loss Event Rate = %u.%04u %%\n", rx_info.tfrcrx_p / 10000, rx_info.tfrcrx_p % 10000); Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>
