+ BIC-TCP is a sender-side only change that ensures a linear RTT
+ fairness under large windows while offering both scalability and
+ bounded TCP-friendliness. The protocol combines two schemes
+ called additive increase and binary search increase. When the
+ congestion window is large, additive increase with a large
+ increment ensures linear RTT fairness as well as good
+ scalability. Under small congestion windows, binary search
+ increase provides TCP friendliness.
