2 * TCP NV: TCP with Congestion Avoidance
4 * TCP-NV is a successor of TCP-Vegas that has been developed to
5 * deal with the issues that occur in modern networks.
6 * Like TCP-Vegas, TCP-NV supports true congestion avoidance,
7 * the ability to detect congestion before packet losses occur.
8 * When congestion (queue buildup) starts to occur, TCP-NV
9 * predicts what the cwnd size should be for the current
10 * throughput and it reduces the cwnd proportionally to
11 * the difference between the current cwnd and the predicted cwnd.
13 * NV is only recommeneded for traffic within a data center, and when
14 * all the flows are NV (at least those within the data center). This
15 * is due to the inherent unfairness between flows using losses to
16 * detect congestion (congestion control) and those that use queue
17 * buildup to detect congestion (congestion avoidance).
19 * Note: High NIC coalescence values may lower the performance of NV
20 * due to the increased noise in RTT values. In particular, we have
21 * seen issues with rx-frames values greater than 8.
23 * TODO:
24 * 1) Add mechanism to deal with reverse congestion.

33 /* TCP NV parameters
35 * nv_pad Max number of queued packets allowed in network
36 * nv_pad_buffer Do not grow cwnd if this closed to nv_pad
37 * nv_reset_period How often (in) seconds)to reset min_rtt
38 * nv_min_cwnd Don't decrease cwnd below this if there are no losses
39 * nv_cong_dec_mult Decrease cwnd by X% (30%) of congestion when detected
40 * nv_ssthresh_factor On congestion set ssthresh to this * <desired cwnd> / 8
41 * nv_rtt_factor RTT averaging factor
42 * nv_loss_dec_factor Decrease cwnd by this (50%) when losses occur
43 * nv_dec_eval_min_calls Wait this many RTT measurements before dec cwnd
44 * nv_inc_eval_min_calls Wait this many RTT measurements before inc cwnd
45 * nv_ssthresh_eval_min_calls Wait this many RTT measurements before stopping
46 * slow-start due to congestion
47 * nv_stop_rtt_cnt Only grow cwnd for this many RTTs after non-congestion
48 * nv_rtt_min_cnt Wait these many RTTs before making congesion decision
49 * nv_cwnd_growth_rate_neg
50 * nv_cwnd_growth_rate_pos
51 * How quickly to double growth rate (not rate) of cwnd when not
52 * congested. One value (nv_cwnd_growth_rate_neg) for when
53 * rate < 1 pkt/RTT (after losses). The other (nv_cwnd_growth_rate_pos)
54 * otherwise.
