Subject: Re: [PATCH] tcp: for tcp westwood implementation

I'm sorry about posting such a damaged email.
I resubmit the patch by plain-text.

From: Jae-Hyun Hwang <jhhwang@...korea.ac.kr>

Current net/ipv4/tcp_westwood.c seems to be unnatural when compared
with Westwood papers.
Since Linux TCP calls '.ssthresh' interface whenever packet loss is
detected, it is more natural that the interface points to
'tcp_westwood_bw_rttmin' function, not Reno's function.
This patch also enables Westwood to perform its algorithm when
CA_EVENT_LOSS event is generated as explained in the papers.
