algorithm based on the Internet-Draft "draft-rhee-tcpm-cubic-02.txt". It is
implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular
congestion control framework.
CUBIC was designed for 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 "CUBIC: A New TCP-Friendly High-Speed TCP Variant" provides additional
detail.
