 * TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP)
 *
 * TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
 *   the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
 *   bandwidth as targeted by TCP.
 *
 * As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
 * Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
 * the original TCP-LP implementation:
 *   o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
 *     within cong_avoid.
 *   o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
 *     on checking and updating.
 *   o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, since
 *     OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
 *   o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
 *     pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
 *   o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
 *     tcp_time_stamp format.
