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
10 * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/bitcp.pdf
12 * Unless BIC is enabled and congestion window is large
13 * this behaves the same as the original Reno.
