Crate generic_cong_avoid

Generic Cong Avoid is a higher-level API for portus which is suitable for traditional “congestion avoidance” algorithms.

These algorithms comprise of an increase rule when new cumulative acknowledgements arrive, and a decrease rule when congestion is detected. This crate provides implementations of Reno and Cubic.

The API retains the same structure as that of portus, but it is not necessary (nor possible) to write custom datapath programs: the generic-cong-avoid layer collects a fixed set of measurements detailed in GenericCongAvoidMeasurements.
