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