Question regarding FreeBSD Congestion control

[Bejoy Thomas]

I have been looking at the FreeBSD congestion control code  and had some questions on the SACK enabled code flow .  
With SACK the congestion window is retained as 1 MSS when the Fast Retransmit is exited and Fast Recovery  is entered,so cwnd growth seems to be  much slower than slow start, as we we are re transmitting drops from the sack hole or new data.  But in non-SACK case the congestion window is restored  to cwnd/2 +(dupacks-snd_limited)*MSS when Fast retransmit is exited  as per RFC3782.   Could some one familiar with the code please throw some light on why we fall back to a cwnd of 1MSS as we enter fast recovery with SACK enabled.
