53.Sh ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
54Development and testing of this software were made possible in part by grants
55from the FreeBSD Foundation and Cisco University Research Program Fund at
56Community Foundation Silicon Valley.
57.Sh HISTORY
58The
59.Nm
60congestion control algorithm first appeared in its modular form in
61.Fx 9.0 .

63The module was first released in 2007 by James Healy and Lawrence Stewart whilst
64working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne University of Technology's
65Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne, Australia, which was made
66possible in part by a grant from the Cisco University Research Program Fund at
67Community Foundation Silicon Valley.
