[RFC] Vegas and tcp parameters per route

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

+ *
+ * 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.
