       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:
