I suppose these were random losses? This is just putting numbers into the TCP throughput algorithm from the TCP-Friendly RFC using its parameter p, and trying to see what the implications of the result are.
I presume that p was assumed to be random in the derivation of the formula.
It's a loss event rate. The equation gives a conservative value for the throughput if the loss is bursty.
Which is likely for queues employing tail dropping.
