This is a version of Binary Increase Control (BIC) TCP developed by NCSU. It is yet another TCP congestion control algorithm for handling big fat pipes. For normal size congestion windows it behaves the same as existing TCP Reno, but when window is large it uses additive increase to ensure fairness and when window is small it uses binary search increase. For more details see the BIC TCP web page http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp/ The original code was for web100 (2.4); this version is pretty much the same but targeted for 2.6 with less sysctl parameters and more constants. I don't have a real high speed long haul network to test, but when running over 1G links with delays, the performance is more stable (ie tests are repeatable) and as fast as existing Reno.
