+ * TCP CUBIC: Binary Increase Congestion control for TCP v2.3
+ * Home page:
+ * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/BIC
* This is from the implementation of CUBIC TCP in
- * Injong Rhee, Lisong Xu.
- * "CUBIC: A New TCP-Friendly High-Speed TCP Variant
- * in PFLDnet 2005
+ * Sangtae Ha, Injong Rhee and Lisong Xu,
+ * "CUBIC: A New TCP-Friendly High-Speed TCP Variant"
+ * in ACM SIGOPS Operating System Review, July 2008.
+ * Available from:
+ * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/cubic_a_new_tcp_2008.pdf
+ *
+ * CUBIC integrates a new slow start algorithm, called HyStart.
+ * The details of HyStart are presented in
+ * Sangtae Ha and Injong Rhee,
+ * "Taming the Elephants: New TCP Slow Start", NCSU TechReport 2008.
* Available from:
- * http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp/cubic-paper.pdf
+ * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/export/hystart_techreport_2008.pdf
+ *
+ * All testing results are available from:
+ * http://netsrv.csc.ncsu.edu/wiki/index.php/TCP_Testing
*
* Unless CUBIC is enabled and congestion window is large
* this behaves the same as the original Reno.
