TCP ABC is ``... a small modification to the way TCP increases
its congestion window. Rather than the traditional method of
increasing the congestion window by a constant amount for each
arriving acknowledgment, the document suggests basing the increase on
the number of previously unacknowledged bytes each ACK covers. This
change improves the performance of TCP, as well as closes a security
hole TCP receivers can use to induce the sender into increasing the
sending rate too rapidly.''[1]
I wonder if the code from DragonflyBSD[2] would be of interest for NetBSD?
