Congestion control, at the TCP level, is from one perspective
completely senseless on local high-speed networks. The reason is that
once any kind of congestion at that level is detected, the condition
is gone by the time you could even possibly respond to it.
So with that in mind, reno is as good as anything and yes do use
pause frames.
