It uses constant space and constant time per update. Yet it almost always delivers the same minimum as an implementation that has to keep all the data in the window. The measurement window is tunable via sysctl.net.ipv4.tcp_min_rtt_wlen with a default value of 5 minutes. The algorithm keeps track of the best, 2nd best & 3rd best min values, maintaining an invariant that the measurement time of the n'th best >= n-1'th best. It also makes sure that the three values are widely separated in the time window since that bounds the worse case error when that data is monotonically increasing over the window. Upon getting a new min, we can forget everything earlier because it has no value - the new min is less than everything else in the window by definition and it's the most recent. So we restart fresh on every new min and overwrites the 2nd & 3rd choices. The same property holds for the 2nd & 3rd best. Therefore we have to maintain two invariants to maximize the information in the samples, one on values (1st.v <= 2nd.v <= 3rd.v) and the other on times (now-win <=1st.t <= 2nd.t <= 3rd.t <= now). These invariants determine the structure of the code The RTT input to the windowed filter is the minimum RTT measured from ACK or SACK, or as the last resort from TCP timestamps. The accessor tcp_min_rtt() returns the minimum RTT seen in the window. ~0U indicates it is not available. The minimum is 1usec even if the true RTT is below that.
