 /*
  * TCP Vegas congestion control
  *
  * This is based on the congestion detection/avoidance scheme described in
  *    Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson.
  *    "TCP Vegas: End to end congestion avoidance on a global internet."
  *    IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, 13(8):1465--1480,
  *    October 1995. Available from:
  *	ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/Papers/jsac.ps
  *
  * See http://www.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/ for their implementation.
  * The main aspects that distinguish this implementation from the
  * Arizona Vegas implementation are:
  *   o We do not change the loss detection or recovery mechanisms of
  *     Linux in any way. Linux already recovers from losses quite well,
  *     using fine-grained timers, NewReno, and FACK.
  *   o To avoid the performance penalty imposed by increasing cwnd
  *     only every-other RTT during slow start, we increase during
  *     every RTT during slow start, just like Reno.
  *   o Largely to allow continuous cwnd growth during slow start,
  *     we use the rate at which ACKs come back as the "actual"
  *     rate, rather than the rate at which data is sent.
  *   o To speed convergence to the right rate, we set the cwnd
  *     to achieve the right ("actual") rate when we exit slow start.
  *   o To filter out the noise caused by delayed ACKs, we use the
  *     minimum RTT sample observed during the last RTT to calculate
  *     the actual rate.
  *   o When the sender re-starts from idle, it waits until it has
  *     received ACKs for an entire flight of new data before making
  *     a cwnd adjustment decision. The original Vegas implementation
  *     assumed senders never went idle.
