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
