|
* TCP Vegas congestion control
|
|
*
|
|
* This is based on the congestion detection/avoidance scheme described in
|
|
* Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson.
|
|
* "TCP Vegas: End to end congestion avoidance on a global internet."
|
|
* IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, 13(8):1465--1480,
|
|
* October 1995. Available from:
|
|
* ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/Papers/jsac.ps
|
|
*
|
|
* See http://www.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/ for their implementation.
|
|
* The main aspects that distinguish this implementation from the
|
|
* Arizona Vegas implementation are:
|
|
* o We do not change the loss detection or recovery mechanisms of
|
|
* Linux in any way. Linux already recovers from losses quite well,
|
|
* using fine-grained timers, NewReno, and FACK.
|
|
* o To avoid the performance penalty imposed by increasing cwnd
|
|
* only every-other RTT during slow start, we increase during
|
|
* every RTT during slow start, just like Reno.
|
|
* o Largely to allow continuous cwnd growth during slow start,
|
|
* we use the rate at which ACKs come back as the "actual"
|
|
* rate, rather than the rate at which data is sent.
|
|
* o To speed convergence to the right rate, we set the cwnd
|
|
* to achieve the right ("actual") rate when we exit slow start.
|
|
* o To filter out the noise caused by delayed ACKs, we use the
|
|
* minimum RTT sample observed during the last RTT to calculate
|
|
* the actual rate.
|
|
* o When the sender re-starts from idle, it waits until it has
|
|
* received ACKs for an entire flight of new data before making
|
|
* a cwnd adjustment decision. The original Vegas implementation
|
|
* assumed senders never went idle.
