3  * TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP)
4  *
5  * TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
6  *   the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
7  *   bandwidth as targeted by TCP.
8  *
9  * As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
10  * Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
11  * the original TCP-LP implementation:
12  *   o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
13  *     within cong_avoid.
14  *   o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
15  *     on checking and updating.
16  *   o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, since
17  *     OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
18  *   o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
19  *     pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
20  *   o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
21  *     tcp_time_stamp format.
