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
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
19 * All testing results are available from:
20 * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/wiki/index.php/TCP_Testing
22 * Unless CUBIC is enabled and congestion window is large
23 * this behaves the same as the original Reno.
