/**

 *
 * \brief Implementation of the TCP Hybla algorithm
 *
 * The key idea behind TCP Hybla is to obtain for long RTT connections the same
 * instantaneous transmission rate of a reference TCP connection with lower RTT.
 * With analytical steps, it is shown that this goal can be achieved by
 * modifying the time scale, in order for the throughput to be independent from
 * the RTT. This independence is obtained through the use of a coefficient rho.
 *
 * This coefficient is used to calculate both the slow start threshold
 * and the congestion window when in slow start and in congestion avoidance,
 * respectively.
 *
