2007-04-08tcp: fix cubic scaling errorStephen Hemminger
Doug Leith observed a discrepancy between the version of CUBIC described in the papers and the version in 2.6.18. A math error related to scaling causes Cubic to grow too slowly. Patch is from "Sangtae Ha" <sha2@ncsu.edu>. I validated that it does fix the problems. See the following to show behavior over 500ms 100 Mbit link. Sender (2.6.19-rc3) --- Bridge (2.6.18-rt7) ------- Receiver (2.6.19-rc3) 1G [netem] 100M http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/tcp/2.6.19-rc3/cubic-orig.png http://developer.osdl.org/shemminger/tcp/2.6.19-rc3/cubic-fix.png Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de>
2006-01-03[TCP] cubic: use Newton-RaphsonStephen Hemminger
Replace cube root algorithim with a faster version using Newton-Raphson. Surprisingly, doing the scaled div64_64 is faster than a true 64 bit division on 64 bit CPU's. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2006-01-03[TCP] cubic: precompute constantsStephen Hemminger
Revised version of patch to pre-compute values for TCP cubic. * d32,d64 replaced with descriptive names * cube_factor replaces srtt[scaled by count] / HZ * ((1 << (10+2*BICTCP_HZ)) / bic_scale) * beta_scale replaces 8*(BICTCP_BETA_SCALE+beta)/3/(BICTCP_BETA_SCALE-beta); Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-01-03[TCP] BIC: CUBIC window growth (2.0)Stephen Hemminger
Replace existing BIC version 1.1 with new version 2.0. The main change is to replace the window growth function with a cubic function as described in: http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/faculty/rhee/export/bitcp/cubic-paper.pdf Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
