    TCP Hybla congestion avoidance.
    
    - "In heterogeneous networks, TCP connections that incorporate a
    terrestrial or satellite radio link are greatly disadvantaged with
    respect to entirely wired connections, because of their longer round
    trip times (RTTs). To cope with this problem, a new TCP proposal, the
    TCP Hybla, is presented and discussed in the paper[1]. It stems from an
    analytical evaluation of the congestion window dynamics in the TCP
    standard versions (Tahoe, Reno, NewReno), which suggests the necessary
    modifications to remove the performance dependence on RTT.[...]"[1]
