NAME
cc_vegas — Vegas Congestion Control Algorithm
DESCRIPTION
The Vegas congestion control algorithm uses what the authors term the
actual and expected transmission rates to determine whether there is con‐
gestion along the network path i.e.
actual rate = (total data sent in a RTT) / RTT
expected rate = cwnd / RTTmin
diff = expected - actual
where RTT is the measured instantaneous round trip time and RTTmin is the
smallest round trip time observed during the connection.
The algorithm aims to keep diff between two parameters alpha and beta,
such that:
alpha < diff < beta
If diff > beta, congestion is inferred and cwnd is decremented by one
packet (or the maximum TCP segment size). If diff < alpha, then cwnd is
incremented by one packet. Alpha and beta govern the amount of buffering
along the path.
The implementation was done in a clean-room fashion, and is based on the
paper referenced in the SEE ALSO section below.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The time from the transmission of a marked packet until the receipt of an
acknowledgement for that packet is measured once per RTT. This implemen‐
tation does not implement Brakmo's and Peterson's original duplicate ACK
policy since clock ticks in today's machines are not as coarse as they
were (i.e. 500ms) when Vegas was originally designed. Note that modern
TCP recovery processes such as fast retransmit and SACK are enabled by
default in the TCP stack.
MIB Variables
The algorithm exposes the following tunable variables in the
net.inet.tcp.cc.vegas branch of the sysctl(3) MIB:
alpha Query or set the Vegas alpha parameter as a number of buffers on
the path. When setting alpha, the value must satisfy: 0 < alpha <
beta. Default is 1.
beta Query or set the Vegas beta parameter as a number of buffers on
the path. When setting beta, the value must satisfy: 0 < alpha <
beta. Default is 3.
