Subject: TCP Congestion Control Algorithms

Hello,

Since there are multiple different TCP congestion control algorithms
available in Linux, a Linux server may use any of them.

Is it possible for a regular user to find out the exact TCP congestion
control algorithm used by a Linux server? For example, if I am
downloading a file from a remote Linux server using a TCP flow, can I
find out whether this flow is a TCP/CUBIC flow, or TCP/Newreno, or
some other TCP protocol?

Thanks! If I send this email to a wrong mailing list, I am sorry for that.

Lisong
