[PATCH] net/tcp/illinois: replace broken algorithm reference link

From: Joey Pabalinas <hidden>
Date: 2018-02-28 08:06:03
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [tcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Neal Cardwell, Linus Torvalds

The link to the pdf containing the algorithm description is now a
dead link; it seems http://www.ifp.illinois.edu/~srikant/ has been
moved to https://sites.google.com/a/illinois.edu/srikant/ and none of
the original papers can be found there...

I have replaced it with the only working copy I was able to find.

n.b. there is also a copy available at:

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.296.6350&rep=rep1&type=pdf

However, this seems to only be a *cached* version, so I am unsure
exactly how reliable that link can be expected to remain over time
and have decided against using that one.
