Validate the ns-3 implementation of BIC TCP using Network Stack Tester (NeST)

Brief: ​Binary Increase Congestion control (BIC) is a precursor to CUBIC and is targeted for Long Fat Networks.
It uses a binary search algorithm to find the optimal value of congestion window (​cwnd​).
In this project, the aim is to validate ns-3 BIC implementation by comparing the results obtained from it to those obtained by emulating Linux BIC in NeST.
Required experience:​ C and C++
Bonus experience:​ Knowledge of BIC and TCP implementation in ns-3
Difficulty:​ Moderate Recommended Reading:
● NeST (Link: ​https://gitlab.com/nitk-nest/nest​)
● Linux kernel code (Link:https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.11-rc7/source/net/ipv4/tcp_bic.c​)
● BIC Paper (Link: ​https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1354672/​)
● ns-3 code for BIC (Path: ns-3.xx/src/internet/model/tcp-bic.{h, cc})
