Pluggable congestion avoidance modules

Are all these algorithms actually implemented in the proposed patch? It could be interesting to
play with, because it makes TCP a game. Individual sysops may choose an algorithm that gives
them a slight advantage while ruining aggregate performance. That sounds pretty fun.

Yes, Stephen's patch include all of those algorithms - most of them are already in the kernel, he just repackaged them into modules.
