Sync-TCP

Sync-TCP is based on Reno's congestion control, but in addition adapts its cwnd according to changes in one-way delay.

The name "Sync-TCP" is actually a misnomer - the developers initially assumed synchronized clocks between the two TCP endpoints, but it turns out that this isn't actually required by the protocol.
