Release 4.8 net/ipv4/tcp_westwood.c

/*
 * TCP Westwood+: end-to-end bandwidth estimation for TCP
 *
 *      Angelo Dell'Aera: author of the first version of TCP Westwood+ in Linux 2.4
 *
 * Support at http://c3lab.poliba.it/index.php/Westwood
 * Main references in literature:
 *
 * - Mascolo S, Casetti, M. Gerla et al.
 *   "TCP Westwood: bandwidth estimation for TCP" Proc. ACM Mobicom 2001
 *
 * - A. Grieco, s. Mascolo
 *   "Performance evaluation of New Reno, Vegas, Westwood+ TCP" ACM Computer
 *     Comm. Review, 2004

 *   "Linux 2.4 Implementation of Westwood+ TCP with Rate-Halving :
 *    A Performance Evaluation Over the Internet" (ICC 2004), Paris, June 2004
 *
 * Westwood+ employs end-to-end bandwidth measurement to set cwnd and
 * ssthresh after packet loss. The probing phase is as the original Reno.
