/*
* TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP)
*
* TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
* the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
* bandwidth as targeted by TCP.
*
* As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
* Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
* the original TCP-LP implementation:
* o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
* within cong_avoid.
* o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
* on checking and updating.
* o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne
* OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
* o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
* pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
* o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
* tcp_time_stamp format.
