/*
 * An implementation of the Vegas congestion control algorithm for FreeBSD,
 * based on L. S. Brakmo and L. L. Peterson, "TCP Vegas: end to end congestion
 * avoidance on a global internet", IEEE J. Sel. Areas Commun., vol. 13, no. 8,
 * pp. 1465-1480, Oct. 1995. The original Vegas duplicate ack policy has not
 * been implemented, since clock ticks are not as coarse as they were (i.e.
 * 500ms) when Vegas was designed. Also, packets are timed once per RTT as in
 * the original paper.
 *
 * Originally released as part of the NewTCP research project at Swinburne
 * University of Technology's Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures,
 * Melbourne, Australia, which was made possible in part by a grant from the
 * Cisco University Research Program Fund at Community Foundation Silicon
 * Valley. More details are available at:
 *   http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/
