2 /* DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control.
4 * http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html
6 * This is an implementation of DCTCP over Reno, an enhancement to the
7 * TCP congestion control algorithm designed for data centers. DCTCP
8 * leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to
9 * provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts. DCTCP's goal is to meet
10 * the following three data center transport requirements:
12 * - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate)
13 * - Low latency (short flows, queries)
14 * - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers)
15 * with commodity shallow buffered switches
17 * The algorithm is described in detail in the following two papers:
19 * 1) Mohammad Alizadeh, Albert Greenberg, David A. Maltz, Jitendra Padhye,
20 * Parveen Patel, Balaji Prabhakar, Sudipta Sengupta, and Murari Sridharan:
21 * "Data Center TCP (DCTCP)", Data Center Networks session
22 * Proc. ACM SIGCOMM, New Delhi, 2010.
23 * http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp-final.pdf
25 * 2) Mohammad Alizadeh, Adel Javanmard, and Balaji Prabhakar:
26 * "Analysis of DCTCP: Stability, Convergence, and Fairness"
27 * Proc. ACM SIGMETRICS, San Jose, 2011.
28 * http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp_analysis-full.pdf
30 * Initial prototype from Abdul Kabbani, Masato Yasuda and Mohammad Alizadeh.
