/* DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control.
 *
 * http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html
 *
 * This is an implementation of DCTCP over Reno, an enhancement to the
 * TCP congestion control algorithm designed for data centers. DCTCP
 * leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to
 * provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts. DCTCP's goal is to meet
 * the following three data center transport requirements:
 *
 *  - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate)
 *  - Low latency (short flows, queries)
 *  - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers)
 *    with commodity shallow buffered switches
 *
 * The algorithm is described in detail in the following two papers:
 *
 * 1) Mohammad Alizadeh, Albert Greenberg, David A. Maltz, Jitendra Padhye,
 *    Parveen Patel, Balaji Prabhakar, Sudipta Sengupta, and Murari Sridharan:
 *      "Data Center TCP (DCTCP)", Data Center Networks session
 *      Proc. ACM SIGCOMM, New Delhi, 2010.
 *   http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp-final.pdf
 *
 * 2) Mohammad Alizadeh, Adel Javanmard, and Balaji Prabhakar:
 *      "Analysis of DCTCP: Stability, Convergence, and Fairness"
 *      Proc. ACM SIGMETRICS, San Jose, 2011.
 *   http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp_analysis-full.pdf
 *
 * Initial prototype from Abdul Kabbani, Masato Yasuda and Mohammad Alizadeh.
