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