[RFC] Vegas and tcp parameters per route

To: "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [RFC] Vegas and tcp parameters per route
From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 15:17:29 -0800
Cc: netdev@xxxxxxxxxxx, linux-net@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Organization: Open Source Development Lab
Sender: netdev-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxx
This is the second more complete version of TCP Vegas that allows setting
the options based on route.  Reused the RTAX_FEATURE metric which got
defined but never used, to provide the ability to select vegas, westwood,
and/or frto per route.

There is an modified version of iproute2 available at
        http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/tcp/iproute2-exp.tar.bz2
With this it is possible to setup options per route with ip.
        ip route add to 10.0.0.1 features vegas/frto

This is intended for comment and testing, please don't put it into 2.6 yet.

P.s: the netdevice.h change is to make building iproute2 less painful.

+ *   o We do not change the loss detection or recovery mechanisms of

+ *     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.
