    [TCP]: Add H-TCP congestion control module. · a7868ea6
    Baruch Even authored
    H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by
    Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm
    with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification.
    
    H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The
    basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT
    to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant
    on the time since last congestion.
    
    The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha.
    
    The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.
