Please donot implement protocols on the internet which respond to congestion by increasing the amount of traffic they send, if there is any chance that they might be used by a large number of people. This is poor internet citizenship and causes real problems. It means your code is a DoS attack against the internet transit links, which can be triggered by anybody capable of inducing low levels of packet loss, and the only effective mechanism to stop it is for ISPs to block the traffic entirely.
Packet loss is how the internet signals that you're sending more bandwidth than it has capacity to forward. Internet protocols need to respond politely to this signal.
