[DCCP]: Document boundaries and limits of the TFRC lookup table Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Looks really good but can we keep how we simplify the equation in there (the bit below)? It doesn't hurt to have too much documentation and it compiles away to 0 bytes so doesn't affect performance...
-/* Calculate the send rate as per section 3.1 of RFC3448 - -Returns send rate in bytes per second - -Integer maths and lookups are used as not allowed floating point in kernel - -The function for Xcalc as per section 3.1 of RFC3448 is: - -X = s - ------------------------------------------------------------- - R*sqrt(2*b*p/3) + (t_RTO * (3*sqrt(3*b*p/8) * p * (1+32*p^2))) - -where -X is the trasmit rate in bytes/second -s is the packet size in bytes -R is the round trip time in seconds -p is the loss event rate, between 0 and 1.0, of the number of loss events - as a fraction of the number of packets transmitted -t_RTO is the TCP retransmission timeout value in seconds -b is the number of packets acknowledged by a single TCP acknowledgement - -we can assume that b = 1 and t_RTO is 4 * R. With this the equation becomes: - -X = s - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - R * sqrt(2 * p / 3) + (12 * R * (sqrt(3 * p / 8) * p * (1 + 32 * p^2))) - - -which we can break down into: - -X = s - -------- - R * f(p) - -where f(p) = sqrt(2 * p / 3) + (12 * sqrt(3 * p / 8) * p * (1 + 32 * p * p)) -
