+ ---help---
+ TCP NV is a follow up to TCP Vegas. It has been modified to deal with
+ 10G networks, measurement noise introduced by LRO, GRO and interrupt
+ coalescence. In addition, it will decrease its cwnd multiplicatively
+ instead of linearly.
+
+ Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
+ queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
+ when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
+ can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.
