+ ---help---
+ TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno
+ protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion
+ control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set
+ congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion
+ episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a
+ slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into
+ account the bandwidth used at the time congestion is experienced.
+ TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in
+ wired networks and throughput over wireless links.
