I think this will probably work:

  "Limited Transmit" [RFC3042] has been specified as an optimization
  extending Fast Retransmit/Fast Recovery for TCP connections with
  small congestion windows that will not trigger three duplicate
  acknowledgements. This specification is deemed safe, and it also
  provides benefits for TCP connections that experience a large amount
  of packet (data or ACK) loss. Implementors should evaluate this
  standards track specification for TCP in loss environments.
