[TCP]: Add TCP Vegas congestion control module.
TCP Vegas code modified for the new TCP infrastructure. Vegas now uses microsecond resolution timestamps for better estimation of performance over higher speed links. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

the onset of congestion by estimating the bandwidth. TCP Vegas

adjusts the sending rate by modifying the congestion

not as aggressive as TCP Reno.

|
||||
* TCP Vegas congestion control
|
||||
*
|
||||
* This is based on the congestion detection/avoidance scheme described in
|
||||
* Lawrence S. Brakmo and Larry L. Peterson.
|
||||
* "TCP Vegas: End to end congestion avoidance on a global internet."
|
||||
* IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication, 13(8):1465--1480,
|
||||
* October 1995. Available from:
|
||||
* ftp://ftp.cs.arizona.edu/xkernel/Papers/jsac.ps
|
||||
*
|
||||
* 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.
