RFC2988 says the minRTO should be 1 sec. The reason for that is due to two reasons: (1) clock granularity of the OS at that time, and (2) delay ack implementation is 200ms.

Zheng & Qiao (2011) An Effective Approach to Preventing TCP Incast Throughput Collapse for Data Center Networks (GLOBECOM)

computed using the SRU, RTT and bottleneck buffer size. The paper assumes these
parameters are available to the incast application.
