Detailed Description

An implementation of TCP HighSpeed.


TCP HighSpeed is designed for high-capacity channels or, in general, for TCP connections with large congestion windows. Conceptually, with respect to the standard TCP, HighSpeed makes the cWnd grow faster during the probing phases and accelerates the cWnd recovery from losses. This behavior is executed only when the window grows beyond a certain threshold, which allows TCP Highspeed to be friendly with standard TCP in environments with heavy congestion, without introducing new dangers of congestion collapse. At the core of TCP HighSpeed there are two functions, a(w) and b(w), which respectively specify the cWnd growth addendum and the cWnd reduction factor when given an actual cWnd value w.

Congestion avoidance of TcpHighSpeed.

As implementation choice, we increment cWnd only by MSS, when the right number of ACK has been received. At this point, the important question is: what is the "right number of ACK" ?

As you can recall from RFC, Highspeed works this way:

          w = w + a(w)/w

Let's start when a(w) is 1 (so it is classical NewReno). The formula then is the classical text-book version for NewReno:

          w = w + 1 / w

So, for each segment acked, we increase the window by the quantity 1/w. Or, instead of adding the 1/w quantity for each segment acked, we can track the number of segments acked (m_ackCnt) and increment by 1 MSS when m_ackCnt reaches w.

When a(w) > 1, it means that each segment acked has a different "weight". For instance, when it is equal to 2, we need to increase the window by the quantity 2/w. But, this means that one segment acked is equivalent (from the point of view of incrementing cWnd) to two segments acked in NewReno (1/w + 1/w). That a coefficient is, in other word, the weight of each segment acked. More weight, less ACK are necessary to increment cWnd, which is exactly the Highspeed principle.

Parameters
tcbinternal congestion state
segmentsAckedcount of segments acked
