Detailed Description

The NewReno implementation.


Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

New Reno introduces partial ACKs inside the well-established Reno algorithm. This and other modifications are described in RFC 6582.

◆ CongestionAvoidance()

void ns3::TcpNewReno::CongestionAvoidance ( Ptr< TcpSocketState tcb,
uint32_t  segmentsAcked

During congestion avoidance, cwnd is incremented by roughly 1 full-sized segment per round-trip time (RTT).

Parameters
tcbinternal congestion state
segmentsAckedcount of segments acked

◆ GetSsThresh()

uint32_t ns3::TcpNewReno::GetSsThresh ( Ptr< const TcpSocketState tcb,
uint32_t  bytesInFlight 
)
virtual

Get the slow start threshold after a loss event.

Is guaranteed that the congestion control state (TcpAckState_t) is changed BEFORE the invocation of this method. The implementator should return the slow start threshold (and not change it directly) because, in the future, the TCP implementation may require to instantly recover from a loss event (e.g. when there is a network with an high reordering factor).

Parameters
tcbinternal congestion state
bytesInFlighttotal bytes in flight
Returns
Slow start threshold

Implements ns3::TcpCongestionOps.

Tcp NewReno slow start algorithm

Defined in RFC 5681 as

During slow start, a TCP increments cwnd by at most SMSS bytes for each ACK received that cumulatively acknowledges new data. Slow start ends when cwnd exceeds ssthresh (or, optionally, when it reaches it, as noted above) or when congestion is observed. While traditionally TCP implementations have increased cwnd by precisely SMSS bytes upon receipt of an ACK covering new data, we RECOMMEND that TCP implementations increase cwnd, per:

cwnd += min (N, SMSS) (2)

where N is the number of previously unacknowledged bytes acknowledged in the incoming ACK.

The ns-3 implementation respect the RFC definition. Linux does something different:

u32 tcp_slow_start(struct tcp_sock *tp, u32 acked)
  {
    u32 cwnd = tp->snd_cwnd + acked;

    if (cwnd > tp->snd_ssthresh)
      cwnd = tp->snd_ssthresh + 1;
    acked -= cwnd - tp->snd_cwnd;
    tp->snd_cwnd = min(cwnd, tp->snd_cwnd_clamp);

    return acked;
  }

As stated, we want to avoid the case when a cumulative ACK increases cWnd more than a segment size, but we keep count of how many segments we have ignored, and return them.

Parameters
tcbinternal congestion state
segmentsAckedcount of segments acked
Returns
the number of segments not considered for increasing the cWnd
