/*
 * CAIA Delay-Gradient (CDG) congestion control
 *
 * This implementation is based on the paper:
 *   D.A. Hayes and G. Armitage. "Revisiting TCP congestion control using
 *   delay gradients." In IFIP Networking, pages 328-341. Springer, 2011.
 *
 * Scavenger traffic (Less-than-Best-Effort) should disable coexistence
 * heuristics using parameters use_shadow=0 and use_ineff=0.
 *
 * Parameters window, backoff_beta, and backoff_factor are crucial for
 * throughput and delay. Future work is needed to determine better defaults,
 * and to provide guidelines for use in different environments/contexts.
 *
 * Except for window, knobs are configured via /sys/module/tcp_cdg/parameters/.
 * Parameter window is only configurable when loading tcp_cdg as a module.
 *
 * Notable differences from paper/FreeBSD:
 *   o Using Hybrid Slow start and Proportional Rate Reduction.
 *   o Add toggle for shadow window mechanism. Suggested by David Hayes.
 *   o Add toggle for non-congestion loss tolerance.
 *   o Scaling parameter G is changed to a backoff factor;
 *     conversion is given by: backoff_factor = 1000/(G * window).
 *   o Limit shadow window to 2 * cwnd, or to cwnd when application limited.
 *   o More accurate e^-x.
