| * CAIA Delay-Gradient (CDG) congestion control |
| * |
| * This implementation is based on the paper: |
| * D.A. Hayes and G. Armitage. "Revisiting TCP congestion control using |
| * delay gradients." In IFIP Networking, pages 328-341. Springer, 2011. |
| * |
| * Scavenger traffic (Less-than-Best-Effort) should disable coexistence |
| * heuristics using parameters use_shadow=0 and use_ineff=0. |
| * |
| * Parameters window, backoff_beta, and backoff_factor are crucial for |
| * throughput and delay. Future work is needed to determine better defaults, |
| * and to provide guidelines for use in different environments/contexts. |
| * |
| * Except for window, knobs are configured via /sys/module/tcp_cdg/parameters/. |
| * Parameter window is only configurable when loading tcp_cdg as a module. |
| * |
| * Notable differences from paper/FreeBSD: |
| * o Using Hybrid Slow start and Proportional Rate Reduction. |
| * o Add toggle for shadow window mechanism. Suggested by David Hayes. |
| * o Add toggle for non-congestion loss tolerance. |
| * o Scaling parameter G is changed to a backoff factor; |
| * conversion is given by: backoff_factor = 1000/(G * window). |
| * o Limit shadow window to 2 * cwnd, or to cwnd when application limited. |
| * o More accurate e^-x. |
