From 450b5b18983cc15f4d27bd3f62901e02281e818b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2005 15:26:45 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [TCP]: BIC max increment too large The max growth of BIC TCP is too large. Original code was based on BIC 1.0 and the default there was 32. Later code (2.6.13) included compensation for delayed acks, and should have reduced the default value to 16; since normally TCP gets one ack for every two packets sent. The current value of 32 makes BIC too aggressive and unfair to other flows.
