Please do the following:

  • Bump the document date .Dd field.
  • Add a "SEE ALSO" section with a reference to the ABE draft (as an example, you can copy from cc_cubic for draft-rhee-tcpm-cubic-02.txt). While you're at it, perhaps also add a normative reference to RFC 5681 as the first ref in SEE ALSO.
  • Add a new ".Ss Socket options" sub-section above the "MIB Variables" sub-section to document "struct cc_newreno_opts" (see mod_cc(9) for an example of documenting a struct in a man page) and to document the 2 socket options added. You should also reference TCP_CCALGOOPT from tcp(4) and mod_cc(4).

FYI, "man mdoc" has details on all the mdoc macros you might need.

I wonder where these were copied from... please be mindful of paying more attention to detail.

How about (note man page style is to start new sentences on a new line):

Multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to the congestion window in response to a congestion signal per: cwnd = (cwnd * beta) / 100.
Default is 50.

ABE should be explicitly referenced here. Perhaps something like:

Multiplicative window decrease factor, specified as a percentage, applied to the congestion window in response to an ECN congestion signal when
.Va net.inet.tcp.abe=1
per: cwnd = (cwnd * beta_ecn) / 100.
Default is 80.

Feel free to give yourself/the funding project some kudos in the "HISTORY" and/or "AUTHORS" sections for adding ABE support if you wish.
