The following behavior has been observed while talking to a
Linux machine (timestamps enabled, tcpdump output modified
for easier reading):

21.66 bsd   > linux:  ack 1 win 17376
                      <timestamp 870965 310862190>
                                 ^ ts1 sent by bsd

22.05 linux > bsd:     1:1449(1448) ack 1 win 32120
                       <timestamp 310862207 870965>
                                            ^ts1 echoed by linux

22.14 bsd   > linux:   ack 1449 win 17376
                       <timestamp 871013 310862207>
                                  ^ ts2 sent by bsd

22.23 linux > bsd:    1449:2897(1448) ack 1 win 32120
                      <timestamp 310862207 870965> 
                                           ^ ts1 echoed by linux AGAIN
... 

For each ack+timestamp sent by FreeBSD, Linux sends two data packets
(i.e., slow start) - both echoing back the same timestamp.

1. Is this standard behavior?

2. Will FreeBSD behave in the same way? (couldn't test as most BSD
   machines have rfc1323 timestamps turned off).
