No code change, cosmetical changes only: * whitespace cleanup via scripts/cleanfile, * remove self-references to filename at top of files, * fix coding style (extraneous brackets), * fix documentation style (kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO). Thanks are due to Ivo Augusto Calado who raised these issues by submitting good-quality patches. Signed-off-by: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

|
|
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 5348.

int "Use higher bound for nofeedback timer"

|

depends on IP_DCCP_CCID3 && EXPERIMENTAL
|

---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.
