This patch changes the tfrc_lib module in the following manner:
(1) a dedicated tfrc source file to call the packet history &
loss interval init/exit functions.
(2) a dedicated tfrc_pr_debug macro with toggle switch `tfrc_debug'.
Commiter note: renamed tfrc_module.c to tfrc.c, and made CONFIG_IP_DCCP_CCID3
select IP_DCCP_TFRC_LIB.

CCID 2, TCP-like Congestion Control, denotes Additive Increase,
|
|
Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) congestion control with behavior
|
|
modelled directly on TCP, including congestion window, slow start,
|
|
timeouts, and so forth [RFC 2581]. CCID 2 achieves maximum
|
|
bandwidth over the long term, consistent with the use of end-to-end
|
|
congestion control, but halves its congestion window in response to
|
|
each congestion event. This leads to the abrupt rate changes
|
|
typical of TCP. Applications should use CCID 2 if they prefer
|
|
maximum bandwidth utilization to steadiness of rate. This is often
|
|
the case for applications that are not playing their data directly
|
|
to the user. For example, a hypothetical application that
|
|
transferred files over DCCP, using application-level retransmissions
|
|
for lost packets, would prefer CCID 2 to CCID 3. On-line games may
|
|
also prefer CCID 2. See RFC 4341 for further details.
|
|
|
|
CCID2 is the default CCID used by DCCP.

CCID 3 denotes TCP-Friendly Rate Control (TFRC), an equation-based
|
|
rate-controlled congestion control mechanism. TFRC is designed to
|
|
be reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP-like flows,
|
|
where a flow is "reasonably fair" if its sending rate is generally
|
|
within a factor of two of the sending rate of a TCP flow under the
|
|
same conditions. However, TFRC has a much lower variation of
|
|
throughput over time compared with TCP, which makes CCID 3 more
|
|
suitable than CCID 2 for applications such streaming media where a
|
|
relatively smooth sending rate is of importance.
|
|
|
|
CCID 3 is further described in RFC 4342,
|
|
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4342.txt
|
|
|
|
The TFRC congestion control algorithms were initially described in
|
|
RFC 3448.
|
|
|
|
This text was extracted from RFC 4340 (sec. 10.2),
|
|

|
|
To compile this CCID as a module, choose M here: the module will be
|
|
called dccp_ccid3.
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say M.

---help---
|
|
Use higher lower bound for nofeedback timer expiration.
|
|
|
|
The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4
|
|
RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs
|
|
with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced
|
|
performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very
|
|
frequently.
|
|
|
|
This option enables to set a higher lower bound for the nofeedback
|
|
value. Values in units of milliseconds can be set here.
|
|
|
|
A value of 0 disables this feature by enforcing the value specified
|
|
in RFC 3448. The following values have been suggested as bounds for
|
|
experimental use:
|
|
* 16-20ms to match the typical multimedia inter-frame interval
|
|
* 100ms as a reasonable compromise [default]
|
|
* 1000ms corresponds to the lower TCP RTO bound (RFC 2988, 2.4)
|
|
|
|
The default of 100ms is a compromise between a large value for
|
|
efficient DCCP implementations, and a small value to avoid disrupting
|
|
the network in times of congestion.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the nofeedback timer is to slow DCCP down when there
|
|
is serious network congestion: experimenting with larger values should
|
|
therefore not be performed on WANs.
