2  * TCP CUBIC: Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP v2.3
3  * Home page:
4  *      http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/BIC
5  * This is from the implementation of CUBIC TCP in
6  * Sangtae Ha, Injong Rhee and Lisong Xu,
7  *  "CUBIC: A New TCP-Friendly High-Speed TCP Variant"
8  *  in ACM SIGOPS Operating System Review, July 2008.
9  * Available from:
10  *  http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/cubic_a_new_tcp_2008.pdf
11  *
12  * CUBIC integrates a new slow start algorithm, called HyStart.
13  * The details of HyStart are presented in
14  *  Sangtae Ha and Injong Rhee,
15  *  "Taming the Elephants: New TCP Slow Start", NCSU TechReport 2008.
16  * Available from:
17  *  http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/hystart_techreport_2008.pdf
18  *
19  * All testing results are available from:
20  * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/wiki/index.php/TCP_Testing
21  *
22  * Unless CUBIC is enabled and congestion window is large
23  * this behaves the same as the original Reno.
