Luca De Ciccob7d7a9e2006-06-11 23:01:39 -07002 * TCP Westwood+: end-to-end bandwidth estimation for TCP
Stephen Hemminger87270762005-06-23 12:24:09 -07003 *
Luca De Ciccob7d7a9e2006-06-11 23:01:39 -07004 * Angelo Dell'Aera: author of the first version of TCP Westwood+ in Linux 2.4
5 *
6 * Support at http://c3lab.poliba.it/index.php/Westwood
7 * Main references in literature:
8 *
9 * - Mascolo S, Casetti, M. Gerla et al.
10 * "TCP Westwood: bandwidth estimation for TCP" Proc. ACM Mobicom 2001
11 *
12 * - A. Grieco, s. Mascolo

18 * A Performance Evaluation Over the Internet" (ICC 2004), Paris, June 2004
19 *
20 * Westwood+ employs end-to-end bandwidth measurement to set cwnd and
21 * ssthresh after packet loss. The probing phase is as the original Reno.
