Parameters
[in]sampleThe rate sample that will be passed to congestion control algorithms.

Definition at line 223 of file tcp-rate-ops.h.

◆ TcpRateUpdated

typedef void(* ns3::TcpRateLinux::TcpRateUpdated) (const TcpRateConnection &rate)

const SequenceNumber32 tailSeq,

If a gap is detected between sends, it means we are app-limited.

Returns

Parameters
cWndCongestion Window
in_flightIn Flight size (in bytes)

◆ GenerateSample()

uint32_t  lost,
bool  is_sack_reneg,
uint32_t  priorInFlight,
const Time minRtt 
)
overridevirtual

Generate a TcpRateSample to feed a congestion avoidance algorithm.

This function will be called after an ACK (or a SACK) is received. The (S)ACK carries some implicit information, such as how many segments have been lost or delivered. These values will be this function input.

Parameters
deliverednumber of delivered segments (e.g., receiving a cumulative ACK means having more than 1 segment delivered) relative to the most recent (S)ACK received
lostnumber of segments that we detected as lost after the reception of the most recent (S)ACK
is_sack_renegIs SACK reneged?
minRttMinimum RTT so far
Returns
The TcpRateSample that will be used for CA

◆ SkbDelivered()

void ns3::TcpRateLinux::SkbDelivered ( TcpTxItem skb)
overridevirtual

Update the Rate information after an item is received.

When an skb is sacked or acked, we fill in the rate sample with the (prior) delivery information when the skb was last transmitted.

If an ACK (s)acks multiple skbs (e.g., stretched-acks), this function is called multiple times. We favor the information from the most recently sent skb, i.e., the skb with the highest prior_delivered count.

Parameters
skbThe SKB delivered ((s)ACKed)

◆ SkbSent()

void ns3::TcpRateLinux::SkbSent ( TcpTxItem skb,
bool  isStartOfTransmission 
)
overridevirtual

Put the rate information inside the sent skb.

Snapshot the current delivery information in the skb, to generate a rate sample later when the skb is (s)acked in SkbDelivered ().

Parameters
skbThe SKB sent
isStartOfTransmissiontrue if this is a start of transmission (i.e., in_flight == 0)
