[RFC INTRO 0/5] H-TCP congestion control

[Baruch Even <baruch@xxxxxxxxx>]

The following patches are the result of the work of Douglas Leith to implement
the H-TCP congestion control proposal. They have since been modified by me
(Baruch Even) to port them to kernel 2.6.x, test them and tune them.

All patches are against Linux kernel version 2.6.11-bk6. This is currently
a preliminary work and is presented for review in order to receive comments to
improve this work so it can be accepted to mainline Linux Kernel.

The initial development was to add H-TCP to the Linux kernel for testing
purposes, it became evident that on 1 Gbit/s links Linux is unable to process
the received ack stream fast enough to handle the load. We have patches for
that but they proved too hard to be ported to 2.6.11+, we are currently working
on them.
