InitCwndWhenSACK.seq - The cwnd MUST be increased the size of outstanding DATA chunk(s) acknowledged if it is less than PMTU
To check that if an incoming SACK advances the Cumulative TSN Ack
Point, and the total size of the previously outstanding DATA chunk(s)
acknowledged is less than PMTU, cwnd is increased by the total size.

Association is established between endpoint A and B. Arrange data
in endpoint B such that DATA chunk is sent to endpoint A.

TEST DESCRIPTION:
1. Check A: the initial cwnd before DATA transmission is set to 4380.
2. From endpoint B, send valid DATA message 5 times to endpoint B,
when there is association between them.
3. From endpoint A, after received 4 DATA message, send SACK of the
first DATA to endpoint B.
4. Check B: Congestion control window is 5732 now.
5. Received and SACK the rest DATA messages.

RFC 4960
7.2.1. Slow-Start
Beginning data transmission into a network with unknown conditions or
after a sufficiently long idle period requires SCTP to probe the
network to determine the available capacity. The slow-start
algorithm is used for this purpose at the beginning of a transfer, or
after repairing loss detected by the retransmission timer.
o The initial cwnd before DATA transmission or after a sufficiently
long idle period MUST be set to min(4*MTU, max (2*MTU, 4380
bytes)).
o The initial cwnd after a retransmission timeout MUST be no more
than 1*MTU.
o The initial value of ssthresh MAY be arbitrarily high (for
example, implementations MAY use the size of the receiver
advertised window).
o Whenever cwnd is greater than zero, the endpoint is allowed to
have cwnd bytes of data outstanding on that transport address.
o When cwnd is less than or equal to ssthresh, an SCTP endpoint MUST
use the slow-start algorithm to increase cwnd only if the current
congestion window is being fully utilized, an incoming SACK
advances the Cumulative TSN Ack Point, and the data sender is not
in Fast Recovery. Only when these three conditions are met can
the cwnd be increased; otherwise, the cwnd MUST not be increased.
If these conditions are met, then cwnd MUST be increased by, at
most, the lesser of 1) the total size of the previously
outstanding DATA chunk(s) acknowledged, and 2) the destination's
path MTU. This upper bound protects against the ACK-Splitting
attack outlined in [SAVAGE99].
In instances where its peer endpoint is multi-homed, if an endpoint
receives a SACK that advances its Cumulative TSN Ack Point, then it
should update its cwnd (or cwnds) apportioned to the destination
addresses to which it transmitted the acknowledged data. However, if
the received SACK does not advance the Cumulative TSN Ack Point, the
endpoint MUST NOT adjust the cwnd of any of the destination
addresses.
