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 University 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.
