Despite Westwood's theoretical advantages, in nearly
every benchmark we ran last year, TCP cubic won, whether it be
on correct RTT estimates, amount of buffering, responsiveness,
etc. on current hardware and software designs.
(both need timestamps on to work well, besides)
TCP cubic is better maintained and understood than westwood,
also.
While a scenario where westwood would win possibly exists,
there is too much buffering in the wifi stack in particular
at present, to see any improvement.
If you wish to exercise various TCPs under contention,
the current svn head of netperf (2.6) has options to switch
congestion control agorithms on the fly, as does iperf.

Hardware filtering must always be enabled as long as there is an Ethernet
device registered, and use device tree for setting the link activity and
buffer shifting enable/disable bit.

This target currently only supports Moschip's MCS8140 SoC, but support
for other chips in the same family (MCS8142, MCS8144) will be easy to add.
Target support is entirely using Device Tree for probing peripherals.
Drivers support include:
- PCI
- USB 1 & 2
- watchdog
- random number generator
- UART
- timer
- internal Ethernet PHY
- Ethernet MAC core
Support for the following boards is included using Device Tree
- Devolo dLAN USB Extender
- Tigal RBT-832

BCM6338 and BCM6338 have their MSG_CONTROL register width of 8-bits instead of
16-bits. We were previously using a 16-bits write which corrupted the first
byte of the TX FIFO. Also the message type was always set to Full-duplex even
in the case of half-duplex messages.
