Average RTT is 32-bit thus full 64-bit division is redundant.

Average RTT could become zero. This happened in real life at least twice.
This patch treats zero as 1us.

TCP_NV will try to get the base RTT from a socket_ops BPF program if one
is loaded. NV will then use the base RTT to bound its min RTT (its
notion of the base RTT). It uses the base RTT as an upper bound and 80%
of the base RTT as its lower bound.
In other words, NV will consider filtered RTTs larger than base RTT as a
sign of congestion. As a result, there is no minRTT inflation when there
is a lot of congestion. For example, in a DC where the RTTs are less
than 40us when there is no congestion, a base RTT value of 80us improves
the performance of NV. The difference between the uncongested RTT and
the base RTT provided represents how much queueing we are willing to
have (in practice it can be higher).
NV has been tunned to reduce congestion when there are many flows at the
cost of one flow not achieving full bandwith utilization. When a
reasonable base RTT is provided, one NV flow can now fully utilize the
full bandwidth. In addition, the performance is also improved when there
are many flows.
In the following examples the NV results are using a kernel with this
patch set (i.e. both NV results are using the new nv_loss_dec_factor).
With one host sending to another host and only one flow the
goodputs are:
Cubic: 9.3 Gbps, NV: 5.5 Gbps, NV (baseRTT=80us): 9.2 Gbps
With 2 hosts sending to one host (1 flow per host, the goodput per flow
is:
Cubic: 4.6 Gbps, NV: 4.5 Gbps, NV (baseRTT=80us)L 4.6 Gbps
But the RTTs seen by a ping process in the sender is:
Cubic: 3.3ms NV: 97us, NV (baseRTT=80us): 146us
With a lot of flows things look even better for NV with baseRTT. Here we
have 3 hosts sending to one host. Each sending host has 6 flows: 1
stream, 4x1MB RPC, 1x10KB RPC. Cubic, NV and NV with baseRTT all fully
utilize the full available bandwidth. However, the distribution of
bandwidth among the flows is very different. For the 10KB RPC flow:
Cubic: 27Mbps, NV: 111Mbps, NV (baseRTT=80us): 222Mbps
The 99% latencies for the 10KB flows are:
Cubic: 26ms, NV: 1ms, NV (baseRTT=80us): 500us
The RTT seen by a ping process at the senders:
Cubic: 3.2ms NV: 720us, NV (baseRTT=80us): 330us

Most TCP congestion controls are using identical logic to undo
cwnd except BBR. This patch consolidates these similar functions
to the one used currently by Reno and others.

TCP-NV (New Vegas) is a major update to TCP-Vegas.
An earlier version of NV was presented at 2010's LPC.
It is a delayed based congestion avoidance for the
data center. This version has been tested within a
10G rack where the HW RTTs are 20-50us and with
1 to 400 flows.
A description of TCP-NV, including implementation
details as well as experimental results, can be found at:
