2017-08-06tcp: fix cwnd undo in Reno and HTCP congestion controlsYuchung Cheng
Using ssthresh to revert cwnd is less reliable when ssthresh is bounded to 2 packets. This patch uses an existing variable in TCP "prior_cwnd" that snapshots the cwnd right before entering fast recovery and RTO recovery in Reno. This fixes the issue discussed in netdev thread: "A buggy behavior for Linux TCP Reno and HTCP" https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg444955.html Suggested-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Reported-by: Wei Sun <unlcsewsun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-05-11tcp: replace cnt & rtt with struct in pkts_acked()Lawrence Brakmo
Replace 2 arguments (cnt and rtt) in the congestion control modules' pkts_acked() function with a struct. This will allow adding more information without having to modify existing congestion control modules (tcp_nv in particular needs bytes in flight when packet was sent). As proposed by Neal Cardwell in his comments to the tcp_nv patch. Signed-off-by: Lawrence Brakmo <brakmo@fb.com> Acked-by: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2013-11-04tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow startYuchung Cheng
Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets, regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK, GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1) to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase. In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start (LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow start (hystart) enabled by default.

2008-11-12tcp_htcp: last_cong bug fixDoug Leith
This patch fixes a minor bug in tcp_htcp.c which has been highlighted by Lachlan Andrew and Lawrence Stewart. Currently, the time since the last congestion event, which is stored in variable last_cong, is reset whenever there is a state change into TCP_CA_Open. This includes transitions of the type TCP_CA_Open->TCP_CA_Disorder->TCP_CA_Open which are not associated with backoff of cwnd. The patch changes last_cong to be updated only on transitions into TCP_CA_Open that occur after experiencing the congestion-related states TCP_CA_Loss, TCP_CA_Recovery, TCP_CA_CWR.

2007-08-07[TCP]: H-TCP maxRTT estimation at startupStephen Hemminger
Small patch to H-TCP from Douglas Leith. Fix estimation of maxRTT. The original code ignores rtt measurements during slow start (via the check tp->snd_ssthresh < 0xFFFF) yet this is probably a good time to try to estimate max rtt as delayed acking is disabled and slow start will only exit on a loss which presumably corresponds to a maxrtt measurement. Second, the original code (via the check htcp_ccount(ca) > 3) ignores rtt data during what it estimates to be the first 3 round-trip times. This seems like an unnecessary check now that the RCV timestamp are no longer used for rtt estimation. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-31[TCP]: htcp - use measured rttStephen Hemminger
Change HTCP to use measured RTT rather than smooth RTT. Srtt is computed using the TCP receive timestamp options, so it is vulnerable to hostile receivers.

2007-07-31[TCP]: congestion control API pass RTT in microsecondsStephen Hemminger
This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is received. It solves a couple of issues: * Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT (controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but all compute a RTT in microseconds. * Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution. To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the resolution should change. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-07-18[TCP]: remove unused argument to cong_avoid opStephen Hemminger

2006-06-17[TCP]: Minimum congestion window consolidation.Stephen Hemminger
Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh as the minimum congestion window on decrease. Rather than duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that handle in the ops structure is not set. Minor behaviour change to TCP compound. It probably wants to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2 because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

2005-11-10[TCP]: fix congestion window update when using TSO deferalStephen Hemminger
TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful. On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and 50Mbits/sec without TSO. The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window unless we have filled, as per RFC2861. This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full with something smarter that accounts for TSO.

2005-08-29[ICSK]: Move TCP congestion avoidance members to icskArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This changeset basically moves tcp_sk()->{ca_ops,ca_state,etc} to inet_csk(), minimal renaming/moving done in this changeset to ease review. Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters. With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals: 1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support DCCP. 2. INET generic transport pluggable Congestion Avoidance infrastructure, using the current TCP CA infrastructure with DCCP.

2005-06-23[TCP]: Add H-TCP congestion control module.Baruch Even
H-TCP is a congestion control algorithm developed at the Hamilton Institute, by Douglas Leith and Robert Shorten. It is extending the standard Reno algorithm with mode switching is thus a relatively simple modification. H-TCP is defined in a layered manner as it is still a research platform. The basic form includes the modification of beta according to the ratio of maxRTT to min RTT and the alpha=2*factor*(1-beta) relation, where factor is dependant on the time since last congestion. The other layers improve convergence by adding appropriate factors to alpha. The following patch implements the H-TCP algorithm in it's basic form.
