Subject: [patch 3/7] [TCP]: BIC coding bug in Linux 2.6.13
Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 16:54:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051007235436.GD23111@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20051007235353.GA23111@kroah.com>

[-- Attachment #1: tcp-congestion-control-bug.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 977 bytes --]

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>

Please consider this change for 2.6.13-stable   Since BIC is
the default congestion control algorithm, this fix is quite
important.

Missing parenthesis in causes BIC to be slow in increasing congestion
window.

Spotted by Injong Rhee.
