Just a fix to correct the number of printl arguments. Now, srtt is logging correctly. Signed-off-by: Sangtae Ha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- net/ipv4/tcp_probe.c |2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/ipv4/tcp_probe.c b/net/ipv4/tcp_probe.c index 3

Re: 2.6.20.7 TCP cubic (and bic) initial slow start way too slow?

2007-05-12 Thread SANGTAE HA
Hi Bill, This is the small patch that has been applied to 2.6.22. Also, there is "limited slow start", which is an experimental RFC (RFC3742), to surmount this large increase during slow start. But, your kernel might not have this. Please check there is a sysctl variable "tcp_max_ssthresh". Than

sive initial "slow start" behavior with the better performance of bic or cubic during the subsequent steady state portion of the TCP session. I can of course achieve that objective by setting initial_ssthresh to 0, but perhaps that should be made the default behavior.

Re: 2.6.20.7 TCP cubic (and bic) initial slow start way too slow?

2007-05-08 Thread SANGTAE HA
Hi Bill, At this time, BIC and CUBIC use a less aggressive slow start than other protocols. Because we observed "slow start" is somewhat aggressive and introduced a lot of packet losses. This may be changed to standard "slow start" in later version of BIC and CUBIC, but, at this time, we still us

Hi David, I ran couple of testing to see the limited slow start for HSTCP. For this testing, I set max_ssthresh value to 100. With the slow start, it takes around 4sec to hit the cwnd of 21862 (more than 6000 packet drops for one rtt). With the limited slow start, it takes 108sec to hit the cwnd

I also noticed this happening with 2.6.18 kernel version, but this was not severe with linux 2.6.20.3. So, the short-term solution will be upgrading to the latest kernel of FC-6. A long black-out is mostly observed when a lot of packet losses happened in slow start. You can prevent this by apply
