[TCP] BIC: CUBIC window growth (2.0)
Replace existing BIC version 1.1 with new version 2.0. The main change is to replace the window growth function with a cubic function as described in: http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp/cubic-paper.pdf Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
