   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.
