Re: [PATCH] tcp: mark BIC as experimental

Change the configuration defaults to mark BIC as experimental.
BIC is too aggressive and was replaced by CUBIC. Debian was picking
BIC in their default config (should be fixed by now), but the configuration
documentation did not make it explicit that this was a bad idea.

Also update the URLs in the configuration documentation to current
locations.

I understand your intention, but I'm not so sure we should do this.

It's more than a double standard to make this change, yet still
allow things like HTCP to still be a default.

And you can't even make this selection without asking for
TCP_CONG_ADVANCED.   Well... duh!
