5 // This class is a helper class to TcpCubicSender.
6 // Slow start is the initial startup phase of TCP, it lasts until first packet
7 // loss. This class implements hybrid slow start of the TCP cubic send side
8 // congestion algorithm. The key feaure of hybrid slow start is that it tries to
9 // avoid running into the wall too hard during the slow start phase, which
10 // the traditional TCP implementation does.
