2  * Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP

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