Hello, Freebsd-net.

  It looks like, that some TCP connections could benefit from LEDBAT
 (RFC-6871) cognestion control algorithm (not all, of course, it should not
 be default).

  Also, it looks like Apple implements one
  (http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-1699.32.7/bsd/netinet/tcp_ledbat.c),
 but it uses much more "callbacks" from TCP/SCTP core to CC module, that
 FreeBSD has.

  Does somebody evaluate, is it possible to bring LEDBAT to FreeBSD?
