From 343dfaa198e98e8195a962c53206ad88076a6066 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 00:23:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "dctcp: update cwnd on congestion event" Neal Cardwell says: If I am reading the code correctly, then I would have two concerns: 1) Has that been tested? That seems like an extremely dramatic decrease in cwnd. For example, if the cwnd is 80, and there are 40 ACKs, and half the ACKs are ECE marked, then my back-of-the-envelope calculations seem to suggest that after just 11 ACKs the cwnd would be down to a minimal value of 2 [..] 2) That seems to contradict another passage in the draft [..] where it sazs: Just as specified in [RFC3168], DCTCP does not react to congestion indications more than once for every window of data. Neal is right. Fortunately we don't have to complicate this by testing vs. current rtt estimate, we can just revert the patch. Normal stack already handles this for us: receiving ACKs with ECE set causes a call to tcp_enter_cwr(), from there on the ssthresh gets adjusted and prr will take care of cwnd adjustment.
