/*
 * TCP NV: TCP with Congestion Avoidance
 *
 * TCP-NV is a successor of TCP-Vegas that has been developed to
 * deal with the issues that occur in modern networks.
 * Like TCP-Vegas, TCP-NV supports true congestion avoidance,
 * the ability to detect congestion before packet losses occur.
 * When congestion (queue buildup) starts to occur, TCP-NV
 * predicts what the cwnd size should be for the current
 * throughput and it reduces the cwnd proportionally to
 * the difference between the current cwnd and the predicted cwnd.
 *
 * NV is only recommeneded for traffic within a data center, and when
 * all the flows are NV (at least those within the data center). This
 * is due to the inherent unfairness between flows using losses to
 * detect congestion (congestion control) and those that use queue
 * buildup to detect congestion (congestion avoidance).
 *
 * Note: High NIC coalescence values may lower the performance of NV
 * due to the increased noise in RTT values. In particular, we have
 * seen issues with rx-frames values greater than 8.
 *
 * TODO:
 * 1) Add mechanism to deal with reverse congestion.
