+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cc_newreno
+.Nd NewReno Congestion Control Algorithm
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In netinet/cc/cc_newreno.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Details about the algorithm can be found in RFC5681.
+.Sh Socket Options
+The
+.Nm
+module supports a number of socket options under TCP_CCALGOOPT (refer to
+.Xr tcp 4
+and
+.Xr mod_cc 9 for details)
+which can
+be set with
+.Xr setsockopt 2
+and tested with
+.Xr getsockopt 2 .
+The
+.Nm
+socket options use this structure defined in
+<sys/netinet/cc/cc_newreno.h>:
+.Bd -literal
+struct cc_newreno_opts {
+ int name;
+ uint32_t val;
+}
+.Ed
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va CC_NEWRENO_BETA_ECN"
+.It Va CC_NEWRENO_BETA
+Multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to
+the congestion window in response to a congestion signal per: cwnd = (cwnd *
+CC_NEWRENO_BETA) / 100.
+Default is 50.
+.It Va CC_NEWRENO_BETA_ECN
+Multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to
+the congestion window in response to an ECN congestion signal when
+.Va net.inet.tcp.cc.abe=1
+per: cwnd = (cwnd * CC_NEWRENO_BETA_ECN) / 100.
+Default is 80.
+.Pp
+Note that currently the only way to enable
+hystart++ is to enable it via socket option.
+When enabling it a value of 1 will enable precise internet-draft (version 4) behavior
+(subject to any MIB variable settings), other setting (2 and 3) are experimental.
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that hystart++ requires the TCP stack be able to call to the congestion
+controller with both the
+.Va newround
+function as well as the
+.Va rttsample
+function.
+Currently the only TCP stacks that provide this feedback to the
+congestion controller is rack.
+.Sh MIB Variables
+The algorithm exposes these variables in the
+.Va net.inet.tcp.cc.newreno
+branch of the
+.Xr sysctl 3
+MIB:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va beta_ecn"
+.It Va beta
+Multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to
+the congestion window in response to a congestion signal per: cwnd = (cwnd *
+beta) / 100.
+Default is 50.
+.It Va beta_ecn
+Multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to
+the congestion window in response to an ECN congestion signal when
+.Va net.inet.tcp.cc.abe=1
+per: cwnd = (cwnd * beta_ecn) / 100.
+Default is 80.

+.Sh ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
+Development and testing of this software were made possible in part by grants
+from the FreeBSD Foundation and Cisco University Research Program Fund at
+Community Foundation Silicon Valley.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+congestion control algorithm first appeared in its modular form in
+.Fx 9.0 .
+.Pp
+This was the default congestion control algorithm in FreeBSD before
+version
+.Fx 14.0 ,
+after which
+.Xr cc_cubic 4
+replaced it.
+.Pp
+The module was first released in 2007 by James Healy and Lawrence Stewart whilst
+working on the NewTCP research project at Swinburne University of Technology's
+Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures, Melbourne, Australia, which was made
+possible in part by a grant from the Cisco University Research Program Fund at
+Community Foundation Silicon Valley.
