+ BIC-TCP is a sender-side only change that ensures a linear RTT
+ fairness under large windows while offering both scalability and
+ bounded TCP-friendliness. The protocol combines two schemes
+ called additive increase and binary search increase. When the
+ congestion window is large, additive increase with a large
+ increment ensures linear RTT fairness as well as good
+ scalability. Under small congestion windows, binary search
+ increase provides TCP friendliness.

+ TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno
+ protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion
+ control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set
+ congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion
+ episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a
+ slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into
+ account the bandwidth used at the time congestion is experienced.
