algorithm described in the paper "Improved coexistence and loss tolerance for delay based TCP congestion control" by Hayes and Armitage. It is implemented as a kernel module compatible with the recently committed modular congestion control framework. CHD enhances the approach taken by the Hamilton-Delay (HD) algorithm to provide tolerance to non-congestion related packet loss and improvements to coexistence with loss-based congestion control algorithms. A key idea in improving coexistence with loss-based congestion control algorithms is the use of a shadow window, which attempts to track how NewReno's congestion window (cwnd) would evolve. At the next packet loss congestion event, CHD uses the shadow window to correct cwnd in a way that reduces the amount of unfairness CHD experiences when competing with loss-based algorithms.
