35.1.5.0.2 Newreno TCP

This agent is based on the Reno TCP agent, but which modifies the action taken when receiving new ACKS. In order to exit fast recovery, the sender must receive an ACK for the highest sequence number sent. Thus, new ``partial ACKs'' (those which represent new ACKs but do not represent an ACK for all outstanding data) do not deflate the window (and possibly lead to a stall, characteristic of Reno).
