Note that the ssfnet tests were not done by the authors of the 1996 
paper.  Those authors did all of their work in ns-2.  You can find those 
tests in the ns-2 test suite.

Please note that we do not have a Sack implementation at present.  If 
someone wanted to contribute Sack along with tests as part of this 
validation project, I would approve of that.

Please review the instructions at Google:

You will have to apply through Google.  Once your application is 
submitted, mentors can still provide feedback to you through the April 9 
deadline.
