Only by the router? Isn't it possible that an ATM-switch - aware of the
fact that certain VCs carry TCP/IP-traffic - randomly discards packets
(AAL5-PDUs) and thus resets the TCP-window size of only one connection at
a time before its buffer situation forces to drop packets massively and
thus resets the window sizes of all connections?
