Recommended by who? IIRC this topic was briefly discussed again not
log ago in a platform call, and both Lixia and Klaus were not happy
with the current behavior of our AIMD implementation (halving the
window being too aggressive and so on). Klaus mentioned that a
CUBIC-like algorithm performed much better in his tests. So, I would
not point to the current implementation in ndn-cxx as the "recommended
algorithm".
