+        TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno
+        protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion
+        control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set
+        congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion
+        episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a
+        slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into
+        account the bandwidth used  at the time congestion is experienced.
+        TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in
+        wired networks and throughput over wireless links.
