2 * Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP
3 *
4 * This is from the implementation of BICTCP in
5 * Lison-Xu, Kahaled Harfoush, and Injong Rhee.
6 * "Binary Increase Congestion Control for Fast, Long Distance
7 * Networks" in InfoComm 2004
8 * Available from:
9 * http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp.pdf
10 *
11 * Unless BIC is enabled and congestion window is large
12 * this behaves the same as the original Reno.
