[TCP]: Remove TCP Compound
This reverts: f890f921040fef6a35e39d15b729af1fd1a35f29
The inclusion of TCP Compound needs to be reverted at this time
because it is not 100% certain that this code conforms to the
requirements of Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 paragraph (b).

- * TCP Vegas congestion control
- *
- * This is based on the congestion detection/avoidance scheme described in
- * Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson.
- * "TCP Vegas: End to end congestion avoidance on a global internet."
- * IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, 13(8):1465--1480,
- * October 1995. Available from:
- * ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/Papers/jsac.ps
- *
- * See http://www.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/ for their implementation.
- * The main aspects that distinguish this implementation from the
- * Arizona Vegas implementation are:
- * o We do not change the loss detection or recovery mechanisms of
- * Linux in any way. Linux already recovers from losses quite well,
- * using fine-grained timers, NewReno, and FACK.
- * o To avoid the performance penalty imposed by increasing cwnd
- * only every-other RTT during slow start, we increase during
- * every RTT during slow start, just like Reno.
- * o Largely to allow continuous cwnd growth during slow start,
- * we use the rate at which ACKs come back as the "actual"
- * rate, rather than the rate at which data is sent.
- * o To speed convergence to the right rate, we set the cwnd
- * to achieve the right ("actual") rate when we exit slow start.
- * o To filter out the noise caused by delayed ACKs, we use the
- * minimum RTT sample observed during the last RTT to calculate
- * the actual rate.
- * o When the sender re-starts from idle, it waits until it has
- * received ACKs for an entire flight of new data before making
- * a cwnd adjustment decision. The original Vegas implementation
- * assumed senders never went idle.
- *
- *
- * TCP Compound based on TCP Vegas
