3 * Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP
5 * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/BIC

7 * Lison-Xu, Kahaled Harfoush, and Injong Rhee.
8 * "Binary Increase Congestion Control for Fast, Long Distance
9 * Networks" in InfoComm 2004
11 * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/bitcp.pdf
13 * Unless BIC is enabled and congestion window is large
14 * this behaves the same as the original Reno.
