Detailed Description

An implementation of TCP Scalable.

Scalable improves TCP performance to better utilize the available bandwidth of a highspeed wide area network by altering NewReno congestion window adjustment algorithm.

When congestion has not been detected, for each ACK received in an RTT, Scalable increases its cwnd per:

    cwnd = cwnd + 0.01                  (1)

Following Linux implementation of Scalable, we use 50 instead of 100 to account for delayed ACK.

On the first detection of congestion in a given RTT, cwnd is reduced based on the following equation:

    cwnd = cwnd - ceil(0.125 * cwnd)       (2)
