3  * Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP

6  * This is from the implementation of BICTCP in
7  * Lison-Xu, Kahaled Harfoush, and Injong Rhee.
8  *  "Binary Increase Congestion Control for Fast, Long Distance
9  *  Networks" in InfoComm 2004
10  * Available from:
11  *  http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/bitcp.pdf
12  *
13  * Unless BIC is enabled and congestion window is large
14  * this behaves the same as the original Reno.
