algorithm based on the Internet-Draft "draft-leith-tcp-htcp-06.txt". It is
implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular
congestion control framework.
H-TCP was designed to provide increased throughput in fast and long-distance
networks. It attempts to maintain fairness when competing with legacy NewReno
TCP in lower speed scenarios where NewReno is able to operate adequately. The
paper "H-TCP: A framework for congestion control in high-speed and long-distance
networks" provides additional detail.
