2007-10-29[TCP] vegas: Fix a bug in disabling slow start by gamma parameter.Xiaoliang (David) Wei
TCP Vegas implementation has a bug in the process of disabling slow-start with gamma parameter. The bug may lead to extreme unfairness in the presence of early packet loss. See details in: http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~weixl/technical/ns2linux/known_linux/index.html#vegas Switch the order of "if (tp->snd_cwnd <= tp->snd_ssthresh)" statement and "if (diff > gamma)" statement to eliminate the problem.

2007-07-31[TCP]: congestion control API pass RTT in microsecondsStephen Hemminger
This patch changes the API for the callback that is done after an ACK is received. It solves a couple of issues: * Some congestion controls want higher resolution value of RTT (controlled by TCP_CONG_RTT_SAMPLE flag). These don't really want a ktime, but all compute a RTT in microseconds. * Other congestion control could use RTT at jiffies resolution. To keep API consistent the units should be the same for both cases, just the resolution should change. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-07-18[TCP]: remove unused argument to cong_avoid opStephen Hemminger
None of the existing TCP congestion controls use the rtt value pased in the ca_ops->cong_avoid interface. Which is lucky because seq_rtt could have been -1 when handling a duplicate ack.

2007-06-15[TCP]: Congestion control API RTT sampling fixIlpo Järvinen
Commit 164891aadf1721fca4dce473bb0e0998181537c6 broke RTT sampling of congestion control modules. Inaccurate timestamps could be fed to them without providing any way for them to identify such cases. Previously RTT sampler was called only if FLAG_RETRANS_DATA_ACKED was not set filtering inaccurate timestamps nicely. In addition, the new behavior could give an invalid timestamp (zero) to RTT sampler if only skbs with TCPCB_RETRANS were ACKed. This solves both problems.

2007-04-25[TCP]: Congestion control API update.Stephen Hemminger
Do some simple changes to make congestion control API faster/cleaner. * use ktime_t rather than timeval * merge rtt sampling into existing ack callback this means one indirect call versus two per ack. * use flags bits to store options/settings Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[ICSK]: Move TCP congestion avoidance members to icskArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This changeset basically moves tcp_sk()->{ca_ops,ca_state,etc} to inet_csk(), minimal renaming/moving done in this changeset to ease review. Most of it is just changes of struct tcp_sock * to struct sock * parameters. With this we move to a state closer to two interesting goals: 1. Generalisation of net/ipv4/tcp_diag.c, becoming inet_diag.c, being used for any INET transport protocol that has struct inet_hashinfo and are derived from struct inet_connection_sock. Keeps the userspace API, that will just not display DCCP sockets, while newer versions of tools can support DCCP. 2. INET generic transport pluggable Congestion Avoidance infrastructure, using the current TCP CA infrastructure with DCCP.
