/*
* RFC 9438 3.1. Principle 1 for the CUBIC Increase Function
*
* For better network utilization and stability, CUBIC [HRX08] uses a cubic
* window increase function in terms of the elapsed time from the last
* congestion event. While most congestion control algorithms that provide
* alternatives to Reno increase the congestion window using convex functions,
* CUBIC uses both the concave and convex profiles of a cubic function for
* window growth.
*
* After a window reduction in response to a congestion event detected by
* duplicate acknowledgments (ACKs), Explicit Congestion Notification-Echo
* (ECN-Echo (ECE)) ACKs [RFC3168], RACK-TLP for TCP [RFC8985], or QUIC loss
* detection [RFC9002], CUBIC remembers the congestion window size at which it
* received the congestion event and performs a multiplicative decrease of the
* congestion window. When CUBIC enters into congestion avoidance, it starts to
* increase the congestion window using the concave profile of the cubic
* function. The cubic function is set to have its plateau at the remembered
* congestion window size, so that the concave window increase continues until
* then. After that, the cubic function turns into a convex profile and the
* convex window increase begins.

* CUBIC remains in the Reno-friendly region to achieve at least the same
* throughput as Reno.
*
* When receiving a new ACK in congestion avoidance (where cwnd could be
* greater than or less than Wmax), CUBIC checks whether Wcubic(t) is less
* than West. If so, CUBIC is in the Reno-friendly region and cwnd SHOULD
* be set to West at each reception of a new ACK.
*
* West is set equal to cwnd_epoch at the start of the congestion avoidance
* stage. After that, on every new ACK, West is updated using Figure 4.
* Note that this equation uses segments_acked and cwnd is measured in
* segments. An implementation that measures cwnd in bytes should adjust the
* equation accordingly using the number of acknowledged bytes and the SMSS.
* Also note that this equation works for connections with enabled or
* disabled delayed ACKs [RFC5681], as segments_acked will be different based
* on the segments actually acknowledged by a new ACK.
*
* Figure 4 : West = West + alpha_cubic * (segments_acked / cwnd)
*
* Once West has grown to reach the cwnd at the time of most recently
* setting ssthresh -- that is, West >= cwndprior -- the sender SHOULD set
* alpha_cubic to 1 to ensure that it can achieve the same congestion window
* increment rate as Reno, which uses AIMD(1, 0.5).
