PLB is described in the following paper: + https://doi.org/10.1145/3544216.3544226. Based on PLB parameters, + upon sensing sustained congestion, TCP triggers a change in + flow label field for outgoing IPv6 packets. A change in flow label + field potentially changes the path of outgoing packets for switches + that use ECMP/WCMP for routing. + + PLB changes socket txhash which results in a change in IPv6 Flow Label + field, and currently no-op for IPv4 headers. It is possible + to apply PLB for IPv4 with other network header fields (e.g. TCP + or IPv4 options) or using encapsulation where outer header is used + by switches to determine next hop. In either case, further host + and switch side changes will be needed. + + When set, PLB assumes that congestion signal (e.g. ECN) is made + available and used by congestion control module to estimate a + congestion measure (e.g. ce_ratio). PLB needs a congestion measure to + make repathing decisions. + + Default: FALSE + +tcp_plb_idle_rehash_rounds - INTEGER + Number of consecutive congested rounds (RTT) seen after which + a rehash can be performed, given there are no packets in flight. + This is referred to as M in PLB paper: + https://doi.org/10.1145/3544216.3544226. + + Possible Values: 0 - 31 + + Default: 3 + +tcp_plb_rehash_rounds - INTEGER + Number of consecutive congested rounds (RTT) seen after which + a forced rehash can be performed. Be careful when setting this + parameter, as a small value increases the risk of retransmissions. + This is referred to as N in PLB paper: + https://doi.org/10.1145/3544216.3544226. + + Possible Values: 0 - 31 + + Default: 12 + +tcp_plb_suspend_rto_sec - INTEGER + Time, in seconds, to suspend PLB in event of an RTO. In order to avoid + having PLB repath onto a connectivity "black hole", after an RTO a TCP + connection suspends PLB repathing for a random duration between 1x and + 2x of this parameter. Randomness is added to avoid concurrent rehashing + of multiple TCP connections.

This is referred to as K in the PLB paper: + https://doi.org/10.1145/3544216.3544226. + + The 0-1 fraction range is mapped to 0-256 range to avoid floating + point operations. For example, 128 means that if at least 50% of + the packets in a round were marked as congested then the round + will be tagged as congested. + + Setting threshold to 0 means that PLB repaths every RTT regardless + of congestion.
