40  * An implementation of the Vegas congestion control algorithm for FreeBSD,
41  * based on L. S. Brakmo and L. L. Peterson, "TCP Vegas: end to end congestion
42  * avoidance on a global internet", IEEE J. Sel. Areas Commun., vol. 13, no. 8,
43  * pp. 1465-1480, Oct. 1995. The original Vegas duplicate ack policy has not
44  * been implemented, since clock ticks are not as coarse as they were (i.e.
45  * 500ms) when Vegas was designed. Also, packets are timed once per RTT as in
46  * the original paper.
47  *
48  * Originally released as part of the NewTCP research project at Swinburne
49  * University of Technology's Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures,
50  * Melbourne, Australia, which was made possible in part by a grant from the
51  * Cisco University Research Program Fund at Community Foundation Silicon
52  * Valley. More details are available at:
