HISTORY¶
The
cc_newreno
congestion control algorithm
first appeared in its modular form in
FreeBSD 9.0.
The module was first released in 2007 by James Healy and Lawrence Stewart whilst
working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne University of Technology's
Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne, Australia, which was
made possible in part by a grant from the Cisco University Research Program
Fund at Community Foundation Silicon Valley. More details are available at:
