| * 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. |
