Oh my apologies... I attached you the wrong patch. This is 
the right one. Sorry.

+        Enable TCP Westwood+ congestion control algorithm.

+	protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion 
+	control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set 
+	congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion 
+	episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a 
+	slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into 
+	account the bandwidth used  at the time congestion is experienced.
