/*
 * The start() method initializes the algorithm when a new batch of data
 * is being transmitted; this can happen for new sockets, or when one
 * has been idle for a while.
 *
 * The ssthresh() method calculates the "slow start threshold"; when the
 * congestion window is below that threshold, the connection is in slow
 * start mode rather than full congestion avoidance mode. This method is
 * called when congestion occurs.
 *
 * The actual initial window may be set by min_cwnd() to be less than
 * the threshold value as a starting point for the slow start algorithm.
 * 
 * When an acknowledgment arrives from the remote end, the cong_avoid()
 * method is invoked; it may respond to successful packet delivery by
 * enlarging the congestion window.
 * 
 * rtt_sample() tells the algorithm about a measured round-trip time -
 * the time taken between sending a packet and receiving the
 * corresponding acknowledgment.
 * 
 * set_state() indicates that the TCP state of the socket has changed.
 * 
 * Various events of interest can be communicated to the algorithm via
 * cwnd_event().
 * 
 * Sometimes, transient situations can cause the congestion window to be
 * reduced; the undo_cwnd() method can be called when such a situation
 * is detected to restore a larger window.
 * 
 * The get_info() method can be used to make congestion avoidance
 * information available to user space.
