Sync-TCP is based on Reno's congestion control, but in addition adapts its <tt>cwnd</tt> 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.
