2 * TCP CUBIC: Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP v2.0
4 * This is from the implementation of CUBIC TCP in
5 * Injong Rhee, Lisong Xu.
6 * "CUBIC: A New TCP-Friendly High-Speed TCP Variant
9 * http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp/cubic-paper.pdf
11 * Unless CUBIC is enabled and congestion window is large
12 * this behaves the same as the original Reno.
