ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
     Development and testing of this software were made possible in part by grants from the FreeBSD Foundation
     and Cisco University Research Program Fund at Community Foundation Silicon Valley.


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.  More details are available at:
