Detailed Description

An implementation of TCP YeAH.

YeAH-TCP (Yet Another HighSpeed TCP) is a heuristic designed to balance various requirements of a state-of-the-art congestion control algorithm: 1) fully exploit the link capacity of high BDP networks while inducing a small number of congestion events 2) compete friendly with Reno flows 3) achieve intra and RTT fairness 4) robust to random losses 5) achieve high performance regardless of buffer size

YeAH operates between 2 modes: Fast and Slow mode. In the Fast mode when the queue occupancy is small and the network congestion level is low, YeAH increments its congestion window according to the aggressive STCP rule. When the number of packets in the queue grows beyond a threshold and the network congestion level is high, YeAH enters its Slow mode, acting as Reno with a decongestion algorithm. YeAH employs Vegas' mechanism for calculating the backlog as in Equation (1). The estimation of the network congestion level is shown in Equation (2).

                 Q = (RTT - BaseRTT) (cwnd / RTT)    (1)
                 L = (RTT - BaseRTT) / BaseRTT       (2)

To ensure TCP friendliness, YeAH also implements an algorithm to detect the presence of legacy Reno flows. Upon the receipt of 3 duplicate ACKs, YeAH decreases its slow start threshold according to Equation (3) if it's not competing with Reno flows. Otherwise, the ssthresh is halved as in Reno.

                 ssthresh = min{max{cwnd/8, Q}, cwnd/2}
