Modular TCP Congestion Control for FreeBSD

A FreeBSD kernel patch that adds support for modularised TCP congestion control algorithms.

Current: v0.9.3, released 2009-07-17

Ongoing development of the patch is occurring in the tcp_cc_8.x and tcp_cc_7.x project branches within the FreeBSD Subversion repository. The aim is to merge the work into the main FreeBSD source tree as soon as it is ready.

This work is therefore in progress, and the snapshots available below are not guaranteed to be up to date or safe for general use.
