   2  * Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP
   3  * Home page:
   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.
