Yes, lwIP implements TCP Reno.

The terms "TCP Tahoe" and "TCP Reno" are used to denote two different 
variants of the TCP congestion control algorithms. TCP Tahoe is the original 
(i.e., older) implementation which doesn't include the fast retransmit/fast 
recovery algorithm. There is also a newer variant called NewReno which does a 
smarter fast retransmit. Look at the TCP Behaviour Inference Tool (TBIT) 
[http://www.aciri.org/tbit/] for some more information regarding this. TBIT 
is a program that can be used to identify the particular congestion control 
variant.
