Detailed Description

Data structure that records the congestion state of a connection.


Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

In this data structure, basic information that should be passed between socket and the congestion control algorithm are saved. Through the code, it will be referred as Transmission Control Block (TCB), but there are some differencies. In the RFCs, the TCB contains all the variables that defines a connection, while we preferred to maintain in this class only the values that should be exchanged between socket and other parts, like congestion control algorithms.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ EcnState_t

Definition of the Ecn state machine.

Enumerator
ECN_DISABLED 

ECN disabled traffic.

ECN_IDLE 

ECN is enabled but currently there is no action pertaining to ECE or CWR to be taken.

ECN_CE_RCVD 

Last packet received had CE bit set in IP header.

ECN_SENDING_ECE 

Receiver sends an ACK with ECE bit set in TCP header.

ECN_ECE_RCVD 

Last ACK received had ECE bit set in TCP header.

ECN_CWR_SENT 

Sender has reduced the congestion window, and sent a packet with CWR bit set in TCP header.

This state is used for tracing.

Definition at line 105 of file tcp-socket-state.h.

◆ TcpCAEvent_t

Enumerator
CA_EVENT_TX_START 

first transmit when no packets in flight

CA_EVENT_CWND_RESTART 

congestion window restart.

Not triggered

CA_EVENT_COMPLETE_CWR 

end of congestion recovery

CA_EVENT_LOSS 

loss timeout

CA_EVENT_ECN_NO_CE 

ECT set, but not CE marked.

Not triggered

CA_EVENT_ECN_IS_CE 

received CE marked IP packet.

Not triggered

CA_EVENT_DELAYED_ACK 

Delayed ack is sent.

CA_EVENT_NON_DELAYED_ACK 

Non-delayed ack is sent.

Definition at line 89 of file tcp-socket-state.h.

◆ TcpCongState_t

Definition of the Congestion state machine.

The design of this state machine is taken from Linux v4.0, but it has been maintained in the Linux mainline from ages. It basically avoids to maintain a lot of boolean variables, and it allows to check the transitions from different algorithm in a cleaner way.

These states represent the situation from a congestion control point of view: in fact, apart the CA_OPEN state, the other states represent a situation in which there is a congestion, and different actions should be taken, depending on the case.

Enumerator
CA_OPEN 

Normal state, no dubious events.

CA_DISORDER 

In all the respects it is "Open", but requires a bit more attention.

It is entered when we see some SACKs or dupacks. It is split of "Open"

CA_CWR 

cWnd was reduced due to some Congestion Notification event.

It can be ECN, ICMP source quench, local device congestion. Not used in NS-3 right now.

CA_RECOVERY 

CWND was reduced, we are fast-retransmitting.

CA_LOSS 

CWND was reduced due to RTO timeout or SACK reneging.

CA_LAST_STATE 

Used only in debug messages.
