HISTORY

     The cc_newreno congestion control algorithm first appeared in its modular form in FreeBSD 9.0.

     The module was first released in 2007 by James Healy and Lawrence Stewart whilst working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne Univer-
     sity of Technology's Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne, Australia, which was made possible in part by a grant from the
     Cisco University Research Program Fund at Community Foundation Silicon Valley.  More details are available at:
