tcp: add CDG congestion control
CAIA Delay-Gradient (CDG) is a TCP congestion control that modifies
the TCP sender in order to [1]:
o Use the delay gradient as a congestion signal.
o Back off with an average probability that is independent of the RTT.
o Coexist with flows that use loss-based congestion control, i.e.,
flows that are unresponsive to the delay signal.
o Tolerate packet loss unrelated to congestion. (Disabled by default.)
Its FreeBSD implementation was presented for the ICCRG in July 2012;
slides are available at http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/84/iccrg.html
Running the experiment scenarios in [1] suggests that our implementation
achieves more goodput compared with FreeBSD 10.0 senders, although it also
causes more queueing delay for a given backoff factor.
The loss tolerance heuristic is disabled by default due to safety concerns
for its use in the Internet [2, p. 45-46].
We use a variant of the Hybrid Slow start algorithm in tcp_cubic to reduce
the probability of slow start overshoot.
