[ Upstream commit aecfde23108b8e637d9f5c5e523b24fb97035dc3 ] RFC8257 §3.5 explicitly states that "A DCTCP sender MUST react to loss episodes in the same way as conventional TCP". Currently, Linux DCTCP performs no cwnd reduction when losses are encountered. Optionally, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss resets alpha to its maximal value if a RTO happens. This behavior is sub-optimal for at least two reasons: i) it ignores losses triggering fast retransmissions; and ii) it causes unnecessary large cwnd reduction in the future if the loss was isolated as it resets the historical term of DCTCP's alpha EWMA to its maximal value (i.e., denoting a total congestion). The second reason has an especially noticeable effect when using DCTCP in high BDP environments, where alpha normally stays at low values. This patch replace the clamping of alpha by setting ssthresh to half of cwnd for both fast retransmissions and RTOs, at most once per RTT. Consequently, the dctcp_clamp_alpha_on_loss module parameter has been removed. The table below shows experimental results where we measured the drop probability of a PIE AQM (not applying ECN marks) at a bottleneck in the presence of a single TCP flow with either the alpha-clamping option enabled or the cwnd halving proposed by this patch. Results using reno or cubic are given for comparison. | Link | RTT | Drop TCP CC | speed | base+AQM | probability ==================|=========|==========|============ CUBIC | 40Mbps | 7+20ms | 0.21% RENO | | | 0.19% DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA | | | 25.80% DCTCP-HALVE-CWND | | | 0.22% ------------------|---------|----------|------------ CUBIC | 100Mbps | 7+20ms | 0.03% RENO | | | 0.02% DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA | | | 23.30% DCTCP-HALVE-CWND | | | 0.04% ------------------|---------|----------|------------ CUBIC | 800Mbps | 1+1ms | 0.04% RENO | | | 0.05% DCTCP-CLAMP-ALPHA | | | 18.70% DCTCP-HALVE-CWND | | | 0.06% We see that, without halving its cwnd for all source of losses, DCTCP drives the AQM to large drop probabilities in order to keep the queue length under control (i.e., it repeatedly faces RTOs). Instead, if DCTCP reacts to all source of losses, it can then be controlled by the AQM using similar drop levels than cubic or reno.

/* DataCenter TCP (DCTCP) congestion control.
|
|
*
|
|
* http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html
|
|
*
|
|
* This is an implementation of DCTCP over Reno, an enhancement to the
|
|
* TCP congestion control algorithm designed for data centers. DCTCP
|
|
* leverages Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in the network to
|
|
* provide multi-bit feedback to the end hosts. DCTCP's goal is to meet
|
|
* the following three data center transport requirements:
|
|
*
|
|
* - High burst tolerance (incast due to partition/aggregate)
|
|
* - Low latency (short flows, queries)
|
|
* - High throughput (continuous data updates, large file transfers)
|
|
* with commodity shallow buffered switches
|
|
*
|
|
* The algorithm is described in detail in the following two papers:
|
|
*
|
|
* 1) Mohammad Alizadeh, Albert Greenberg, David A. Maltz, Jitendra Padhye,
|
|
* Parveen Patel, Balaji Prabhakar, Sudipta Sengupta, and Murari Sridharan:
|
|
* "Data Center TCP (DCTCP)", Data Center Networks session
|
|
* Proc. ACM SIGCOMM, New Delhi, 2010.

* http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp_analysis-full.pdf
