35 .Nd TCP congestion control API
37 .In netinet/tcp_congctl.h
40 .Fn tcp_congctl_register "const char *" "struct tcp_congctl *"
43 .Fn tcp_congctl_unregister "const char *"
48 API is used to add or remove TCP congestion control algorithms
49 on-the-fly and to modularize them.
50 It includes basically two functions:
51 .Bl -tag -width "xxxxx"
52 .It Fn tcp_congctl_register "const char *" "struct tcp_congctl *"
53 Registers a new congestion control algorithm.
55 .Fa struct tcp_congctl
56 argument must contain a list of callbacks like the following:
57 .Bd -literal -offset indent
59 int (*fast_retransmit)(struct tcpcb *,
61 void (*slow_retransmit)(struct tcpcb *);
62 void (*fast_retransmit_newack)(struct tcpcb *,
64 void (*newack)(struct tcpcb *,
66 void (*cong_exp)(struct tcpcb *);
69 .It Fn tcp_congctl_unregister "const char *"
70 If found, unregister the selected TCP congestion control algorithm.
73 .Fn tcp_congctl_register
75 .Fn tcp_congctl_unregister
78 when there is no error.
79 If the name is already registered,
80 .Fn tcp_congctl_register
83 .Fn tcp_congctl_unregister
86 if there is no congestion control algorithm by that name and can return
88 if the matched algorithm is being used by userspace applications.
91 .Pa sys/netinet/tcp_congctl.c
92 and the interface is in
93 .Pa sys/netinet/tcp_congctl.h .
