[TCP]: Turn ABC off.
Turn Appropriate Byte Count off by default because it unfairly penalizes applications that do small writes. Add better documentation to describe what it is so users will understand why they might want to turn it on. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Controls Appropriate Byte Count (ABC) defined in RFC3465.

ABC is a way of increasing congestion window (cwnd) more slowly

in response to partial acknowledgments.
|

Possible values are:
|
||||
0 increase cwnd once per acknowledgment (no ABC)
|
||||
1 increase cwnd once per acknowledgment of full sized segment
|

2 allow increase cwnd by two if acknowledgment is

of two segments to compensate for delayed acknowledgments.
