Hi,

attached path extends socket configurables with another
knob - TCP Congestion Avoidance selection. Linux implements
handful of those, useful in various situations. For example,
TCP Low Priority may be used by FTP service to gracefully
yield bandwidth for more important TCP/IP streams.

Until recently TCP_CONGESTION was Linux-specific, recently
FreeBSD 8 and OpenSolaris gained compatible support.
