3*4882a593Smuzhiyun * TCP Vegas congestion control
4*4882a593Smuzhiyun *
5*4882a593Smuzhiyun * This is based on the congestion detection/avoidance scheme described in
6*4882a593Smuzhiyun * Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson.
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun * "TCP Vegas: End to end congestion avoidance on a global internet."
8*4882a593Smuzhiyun * IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, 13(8):1465--1480,
9*4882a593Smuzhiyun * October 1995. Available from:
10*4882a593Smuzhiyun * ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/Papers/jsac.ps
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun *
12*4882a593Smuzhiyun * See http://www.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/ for their implementation.
13*4882a593Smuzhiyun * The main aspects that distinguish this implementation from the
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun * Arizona Vegas implementation are:
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun * o We do not change the loss detection or recovery mechanisms of
16*4882a593Smuzhiyun * Linux in any way. Linux already recovers from losses quite well,
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun * using fine-grained timers, NewReno, and FACK.
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun * o To avoid the performance penalty imposed by increasing cwnd
19*4882a593Smuzhiyun * only every-other RTT during slow start, we increase during
20*4882a593Smuzhiyun * every RTT during slow start, just like Reno.
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun * o Largely to allow continuous cwnd growth during slow start,
22*4882a593Smuzhiyun * we use the rate at which ACKs come back as the "actual"
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun * rate, rather than the rate at which data is sent.
24*4882a593Smuzhiyun * o To speed convergence to the right rate, we set the cwnd
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun * to achieve the right ("actual") rate when we exit slow start.
26*4882a593Smuzhiyun * o To filter out the noise caused by delayed ACKs, we use the
27*4882a593Smuzhiyun * minimum RTT sample observed during the last RTT to calculate
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun * the actual rate.
29*4882a593Smuzhiyun * o When the sender re-starts from idle, it waits until it has
30*4882a593Smuzhiyun * received ACKs for an entire flight of new data before making
31*4882a593Smuzhiyun * a cwnd adjustment decision. The original Vegas implementation
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun * assumed senders never went idle.
