+/*
+ * TCP Vegas congestion control
+ *
+ * This is based on the congestion detection/avoidance scheme described in
+ * Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson.
+ * "TCP Vegas: End to end congestion avoidance on a global internet."
+ * IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, 13(8):1465--1480,
+ * October 1995. Available from:
+ * ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/Papers/jsac.ps
+ *
+ * See http://www.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/ for their implementation.
+ * The main aspects that distinguish this implementation from the
+ * Arizona Vegas implementation are:
+ * o We do not change the loss detection or recovery mechanisms of
+ * Linux in any way. Linux already recovers from losses quite well,
+ * using fine-grained timers, NewReno, and FACK.
+ * o To avoid the performance penalty imposed by increasing cwnd
+ * only every-other RTT during slow start, we increase during
+ * every RTT during slow start, just like Reno.
+ * o Largely to allow continuous cwnd growth during slow start,
+ * we use the rate at which ACKs come back as the "actual"
+ * rate, rather than the rate at which data is sent.
+ * o To speed convergence to the right rate, we set the cwnd
+ * to achieve the right ("actual") rate when we exit slow start.
+ * o To filter out the noise caused by delayed ACKs, we use the
+ * minimum RTT sample observed during the last RTT to calculate
+ * the actual rate.
+ * o When the sender re-starts from idle, it waits until it has
+ * received ACKs for an entire flight of new data before making
+ * a cwnd adjustment decision. The original Vegas implementation
+ * assumed senders never went idle.
+ *
+ *
+ * TCP Compound based on TCP Vegas
