[TCP]: Remove TCP Compound
This reverts: f890f921040fef6a35e39d15b729af1fd1a35f29 The inclusion of TCP Compound needs to be reverted at this time because it is not 100% certain that this code conforms to the requirements of Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 paragraph (b).

1/*
2 * TCP Vegas congestion control
3 *
4 * This is based on the congestion detection/avoidance scheme described in
5 * Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson.
6 * "TCP Vegas: End to end congestion avoidance on a global internet."
7 * IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, 13(8):1465--1480,
8 * October 1995. Available from:
9 * ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/Papers/jsac.ps
10 *
11 * See http://www.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/ for their implementation.
12 * The main aspects that distinguish this implementation from the
13 * Arizona Vegas implementation are:
14 * o We do not change the loss detection or recovery mechanisms of
15 * Linux in any way. Linux already recovers from losses quite well,
16 * using fine-grained timers, NewReno, and FACK.
17 * o To avoid the performance penalty imposed by increasing cwnd
18 * only every-other RTT during slow start, we increase during
19 * every RTT during slow start, just like Reno.
20 * o Largely to allow continuous cwnd growth during slow start,
21 * we use the rate at which ACKs come back as the "actual"
22 * rate, rather than the rate at which data is sent.
23 * o To speed convergence to the right rate, we set the cwnd
24 * to achieve the right ("actual") rate when we exit slow start.
25 * o To filter out the noise caused by delayed ACKs, we use the
26 * minimum RTT sample observed during the last RTT to calculate
27 * the actual rate.
28 * o When the sender re-starts from idle, it waits until it has
29 * received ACKs for an entire flight of new data before making
30 * a cwnd adjustment decision. The original Vegas implementation
31 * assumed senders never went idle.
32 *
33 *
34 * TCP Compound based on TCP Vegas
35 *
36 * further details can be found here:
