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. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <redacted>
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!
