   2 * TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP)
   3 *
   4 * TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
   5 *   the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
   6 *   bandwidth as targeted by TCP.
   7 *
   8 * As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
   9 * Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
  10 * the original TCP-LP implementation:
  11 *   o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
  12 *     within cong_avoid.
  13 *   o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
  14 *     on checking and updating.
  15 *   o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, since
  16 *     OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
  17 *   o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
  18 *     pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
  19 *   o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
  20 *     tcp_time_stamp format.
