From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 19:23:25 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [TCP]: Add TCP BIC congestion control module. X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc1~68^2~382^2~6 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=83803034f4233d810c4adc52008921da060c55d1;p=linux-2.6 [TCP]: Add TCP BIC congestion control module. TCP BIC congestion control reworked to use the new congestion control infrastructure. This version is more up to date than the BIC code in 2.6.12; it incorporates enhancements from BICTCP 1.1, to handle low latency links. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
