Excerpted from RFC 2960:
   o  The sender keeps a separate congestion control parameter set for
      each of the destination addresses it can send to (not each
      source-destination pair but for each destination).  The parameters
      should decay if the address is not used for a long enough time
      period.

   o  For each of the destination addresses, an endpoint does slow-start
      upon the first transmission to that address.

This is pretty close to what's proposed in the TCP-RLCI draft designed
to work with shim6 because it initializes a new congestion control
parameter set (actually, it re-initializes the old set, but the effect
is the same) and slow-starts after a failover event.
