Default: 0 -tcp_westwood - BOOLEAN - Enable TCP Westwood+ congestion control algorithm. - TCP Westwood+ is a sender-side only modification of the TCP Reno - protocol stack that optimizes the performance of TCP congestion - control. It is based on end-to-end bandwidth estimation to set - congestion window and slow start threshold after a congestion - episode. Using this estimation, TCP Westwood+ adaptively sets a - slow start threshold and a congestion window which takes into - account the bandwidth used at the time congestion is experienced. - TCP Westwood+ significantly increases fairness wrt TCP Reno in - wired networks and throughput over wireless links. - Default: 0 - -tcp_vegas_cong_avoid - BOOLEAN - Enable TCP Vegas congestion avoidance algorithm. - TCP Vegas is a sender-side only change to TCP that anticipates - the onset of congestion by estimating the bandwidth. TCP Vegas - adjusts the sending rate by modifying the congestion - window. TCP Vegas should provide less packet loss, but it is - not as aggressive as TCP Reno. - Default:0 - -tcp_bic - BOOLEAN - Enable BIC TCP congestion control algorithm. - BIC-TCP is a sender-side only change that ensures a linear RTT - fairness under large windows while offering both scalability and - bounded TCP-friendliness. The protocol combines two schemes - called additive increase and binary search increase. When the - congestion window is large, additive increase with a large - increment ensures linear RTT fairness as well as good - scalability. Under small congestion windows, binary search - increase provides TCP friendliness. - Default: 0 - -tcp_bic_low_window - INTEGER - Sets the threshold window (in packets) where BIC TCP starts to - adjust the congestion window. Below this threshold BIC TCP behaves - the same as the default TCP Reno. - Default: 14 - -tcp_bic_fast_convergence - BOOLEAN - Forces BIC TCP to more quickly respond to changes in congestion - window. Allows two flows sharing the same connection to converge - more rapidly. - Default: 1 - -tcp_default_win_scale - INTEGER - Sets the minimum window scale TCP will negotiate for on all - conections. - Default: 7 - tcp_tso_win_divisor - INTEGER This allows control over what percentage of the congestion window can be consumed by a single TSO frame. @@ -368,6 +317,11 @@ tcp_frto - BOOLEAN where packet loss is typically due to random radio interference rather than intermediate router congestion. +tcp_congestion_control - STRING + Set the congestion control algorithm to be used for new + connections.
