[TCP]: TCP Veno congestion control

TCP Veno module is a new congestion control module to improve TCP
performance over wireless networks. The key innovation in TCP Veno is
the enhancement of TCP Reno/Sack congestion control algorithm by using
the estimated state of a connection based on TCP Vegas. This scheme
significantly reduces "blind" reduction of TCP window regardless of
the cause of packet loss.

This work is based on the research paper "TCP Veno: TCP Enhancement
for Transmission over Wireless Access Networks." C. P. Fu, S. C. Liew,
IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, Feb. 2003.

TCP Veno is a sender-side only enhancement of TCP to obtain better
throughput over wireless networks. TCP Veno makes use of state
distinguishing to circumvent the difficult judgment of the packet loss
type. TCP Veno cuts down less congestion window in response to random
loss packets.
