3 * TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP)
5 * TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
6 * the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
7 * bandwidth as targeted by TCP.
9 * As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
10 * Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
11 * the original TCP-LP implementation:
12 * o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
14 * o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
15 * on checking and updating.
16 * o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, since
17 * OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
18 * o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
19 * pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
20 * o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
21 * tcp_time_stamp format.
