+/*
+ * TCP Low Priority (TCP-LP)
+ *
+ * TCP Low Priority is a distributed algorithm whose goal is to utilize only
+ *   the excess network bandwidth as compared to the ``fair share`` of
+ *   bandwidth as targeted by TCP. Available from:
+ *     http://www.ece.rice.edu/~akuzma/Doc/akuzma/TCP-LP.pdf
+ *
+ * Original Author:
+ *   Aleksandar Kuzmanovic <akuzma@northwestern.edu>
+ *
+ * See http://www-ece.rice.edu/networks/TCP-LP/ for their implementation.
+ * As of 2.6.13, Linux supports pluggable congestion control algorithms.
+ * Due to the limitation of the API, we take the following changes from
+ * the original TCP-LP implementation:
+ *   o We use newReno in most core CA handling. Only add some checking
+ *     within cong_avoid.
+ *   o Error correcting in remote HZ, therefore remote HZ will be keeped
+ *     on checking and updating.
+ *   o Handling calculation of One-Way-Delay (OWD) within rtt_sample, sicne
+ *     OWD have a similar meaning as RTT. Also correct the buggy formular.
+ *   o Handle reaction for Early Congestion Indication (ECI) within
+ *     pkts_acked, as mentioned within pseudo code.
+ *   o OWD is handled in relative format, where local time stamp will in
+ *     tcp_time_stamp format.
+ *
+ * Port from 2.4.19 to 2.6.16 as module by:
+ *   Wong Hoi Sing Edison <hswong3i@gmail.com>
+ *   Hung Hing Lun <hlhung3i@gmail.com>
+ *
