+ * CAIA Delay-Gradient (CDG) congestion control
+ *
+ * This implementation is based on the paper:
+ * D.A. Hayes and G. Armitage. "Revisiting TCP congestion control using
+ * delay gradients." In IFIP Networking, pages 328-341. Springer, 2011.
+ *
+ * Scavenger traffic (Less-than-Best-Effort) should disable coexistence
+ * heuristics using parameters use_shadow=0 and use_ineff=0.
+ *
+ * Parameters window, backoff_beta, and backoff_factor are crucial for
+ * throughput and delay. Future work is needed to determine better defaults,
+ * and to provide guidelines for use in different environments/contexts.
+ *
+ * Except for window, knobs are configured via /sys/module/tcp_cdg/parameters/.
+ * Parameter window is only configurable when loading tcp_cdg as a module.
+ *
+ * Notable differences from paper/FreeBSD:
+ * o Using Hybrid Slow start and Proportional Rate Reduction.
+ * o Add toggle for shadow window mechanism. Suggested by David Hayes.
+ * o Add toggle for non-congestion loss tolerance.
+ * o Scaling parameter G is changed to a backoff factor;
+ * conversion is given by: backoff_factor = 1000/(G * window).
+ * o Limit shadow window to 2 * cwnd, or to cwnd when application limited.
+ * o More accurate e^-x.
