3  * TCP CUBIC: Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP v2.3
4  * Home page:
5  *      http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/BIC
6  * This is from the implementation of CUBIC TCP in
7  * Sangtae Ha, Injong Rhee and Lisong Xu,
8  *  "CUBIC: A New TCP-Friendly High-Speed TCP Variant"
9  *  in ACM SIGOPS Operating System Review, July 2008.
10  * Available from:
11  *  http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/cubic_a_new_tcp_2008.pdf
12  *
13  * CUBIC integrates a new slow start algorithm, called HyStart.
14  * The details of HyStart are presented in
15  *  Sangtae Ha and Injong Rhee,
16  *  "Taming the Elephants: New TCP Slow Start", NCSU TechReport 2008.
17  * Available from:
18  *  http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/hystart_techreport_2008.pdf
19  *
20  * All testing results are available from:
21  * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/wiki/index.php/TCP_Testing
22  *
23  * Unless CUBIC is enabled and congestion window is large
24  * this behaves the same as the original Reno.
