dcsctp: Don't send small packets when cwnd full

The congestion window is unlikely to be even divisible by the size
of a packet, so when the congestion window is almost full, there is
often just a few bytes remaining in it. Before this change, a small
packet was created to fill the remaining bytes in the congestion window,
to make it really full.

Small packets don't add much. The cost of sending a small packet is
often the same as sending a large one, and you usually get lower
throughput sending many small packets compared to few larger ones.'

This mode will only be enabled when the congestion window is large, so
if the congestion window is small - e.g. due to poor network conditions,
it will allow packets to become fragmented into small parts, in order to
fully utilize the congestion window.

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development
