2009-03-02tcp: add helper for AI algorithmIlpo Järvinen1-7/+14
It seems that implementation in yeah was inconsistent to what other did as it would increase cwnd one ack earlier than the others do.

2008-10-16net: Remove CONFIG_KMOD from net/ (towards removing CONFIG_KMOD entirely)Johannes Berg1-2/+2
Some code here depends on CONFIG_KMOD to not try to load protocol modules or similar, replace by CONFIG_MODULES where more than just request_module depends on CONFIG_KMOD and and also use try_then_request_module in ebtables.

2008-04-29tcp: Limit cwnd growth when deferring for GSOJohn Heffner1-1/+2
This fixes inappropriately large cwnd growth on sender-limited flows when GSO is enabled, limiting cwnd growth to 64k. Signed-off-by: John Heffner <johnwheffner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-04-29tcp: Allow send-limited cwnd to grow up to max_burst when gso disabledJohn Heffner1-7/+4
This changes the logic in tcp_is_cwnd_limited() so that cwnd may grow up to tcp_max_burst() even when sk_can_gso() is false, or when sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor != 0. Signed-off-by: John Heffner <johnwheffner@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2007-07-18[TCP]: remove unused argument to cong_avoid opStephen Hemminger1-2/+1
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.

2007-04-23[TCP]: Congestion control initialization.Stephen Hemminger1-10/+13
Change to defer congestion control initialization. If setsockopt() was used to change TCP_CONGESTION before connection is established, then protocols that use sequence numbers to keep track of one RTT interval (vegas, illinois, ...) get confused.

2006-12-02[TCP]: Restrict congestion control choices.Stephen Hemminger1-0/+63
Allow normal users to only choose among a restricted set of congestion control choices. The default is reno and what ever has been configured as default. But the policy can be changed by administrator at any time. For example, to allow any choice: cp /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_available_congestion_control \ /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_allowed_congestion_control Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-11-01[TCP]: Set default congestion control when no sysctl.Stephen Hemminger1-0/+8
The setting of the default congestion control was buried in the sysctl code so it would not be done properly if SYSCTL was not enabled. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-09-24[TCP]: default congestion control menuStephen Hemminger1-1/+1

2006-06-17[TCP]: Minimum congestion window consolidation.Stephen Hemminger1-3/+3
Many of the TCP congestion methods all just use ssthresh as the minimum congestion window on decrease. Rather than duplicating the code, just have that be the default if that handle in the ops structure is not set. Minor behaviour change to TCP compound. It probably wants to use this (ssthresh) as lower bound, rather than ssthresh/2 because the latter causes undershoot on loss.

2005-11-10[TCP]: Appropriate Byte Count supportStephen Hemminger1-11/+20
This is an updated version of the RFC3465 ABC patch originally for Linux 2.6.11-rc4 by Yee-Ting Li. ABC is a way of counting bytes ack'd rather than packets when updating congestion control. The orignal ABC described in the RFC applied to a Reno style algorithm. For advanced congestion control there is little change after leaving slow start.

2005-11-10[TCP]: fix congestion window update when using TSO deferalStephen Hemminger1-1/+1
TCP peformance with TSO over networks with delay is awful. On a 100Mbit link with 150ms delay, we get 4Mbits/sec with TSO and 50Mbits/sec without TSO. The problem is with TSO, we intentionally do not keep the maximum number of packets in flight to fill the window, we hold out to until we can send a MSS chunk. But, we also don't update the congestion window unless we have filled, as per RFC2861. This patch replaces the check for the congestion window being full with something smarter that accounts for TSO.

2005-08-29[ICSK]: Move TCP congestion avoidance members to icskArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-18/+26
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.
